Multiple Panel

The piece sprouted from the idea of a giant puppet. I wanted to create a portrait (essentially myself) of a woman in a business attire suit to create the idea that she is a professional, or a woman in power. She has 3D elements, there is space between her and the board. Her eyes brows, bottom mouth, and glasses aren’t attached to her either and her eyes are hollow with the pupils (with the ability to move) attached on the back board. She is yours to control. A woman in power, but with what power? I gave her a speech bubble and placed magnetized letters for students to come by and place whatever they’d like. I have seen phrases like “Do Nothing” and “Love U” and a couple of other joking words that students have placed in the past week. Since the work is flat and not an actual puppet, the sheets of paper being visible gives the idea that she was put together. Further adding to the idea that she is not in control and takes away any human semblance the viewer may see.
