My "Moon Baby" sculpture in the making is my astrological formula in sculpture. The outstretched limbs each represent a celestial body in a star formation corresponding to my natal formula. The old black and white family photos fired onto the ceramic body are a kind of diary-like autobiography. The title was taken from a TV series from the 70's.
From the sign of Cancer, the past, starting with my ancestors and parents, through childhood and then young adulthood, through my present life, with an outstretched arm towards the future, that is, towards my birth purpose. A dance-balerina composed of constructive, geometric elements, (collapsible) essentially held flat, static, yet expressing movement in a sensual way. It can be assembled from modules, but can also be disassembled, the elements are not necessarily fixed.
