Figurines 2012-2022
This series honors the history of the figurine since humankind began. From the Venus figurines that were kept on a person’s body, hung from a neck, secreted in a pocket or placed in a niche for safekeeping, to modern day mantle ware that evokes a fabricated pristine era of propriety. Why were they made?... Were they created to empower, to make fertile, to provide solace, to give status? Who did they represent? More importantly, who do they represent today? These are questions I address in my recycled, repurposed and reimagined works which I create in honor of my daughters, who are the new generation of the ideal. They are a mixture of countries, religions, races, ethnicities. They are Swiss Africans, Mennonite Muslims in black and white. They are the new world. Ronna Neuenschwander
