Faceless Women Trilogy 2 :: Baby Weaving

Pencil on Paper :: 640 x 900 mm :: 2009

 The idea for this piece is that a traditional community of women in Japan are caring for a baby as the fruit of the whole society, rather than treating the baby as anyone's in particular.

 For all the pieces in Faceless women trilogy, I focused on female activities for the society they belong to, seen especially in traditional environments such as weaving and child-bearing/raising. I also created a trilogy of tapestry-like illustration. I left the women's faces blank in order to show the females of the society working together as one in unison... in a way it's a lack of identity but that's how female is considered in some societies in history I believe. ...I think the baby is a boy.

 I drew this piece with a number of pencils with different strength and thickness. The piece was exhibited in the University of Brighton Degree Show/09 at University of Brighton along with other pieces of Faceless Women Trilogy.
