Description

Installation artwork by Elise Siegel, Twenty-four Feet (twelve slightly smaller than adult-size figures, ceramic, aqua resin, fabric, wooden stands, overall dimensions variable, 2004, Garth Clark Project Space, Long Island City, NY). The image illustrates a mid-career body of work in Elise Siegel's art in the mid-2000s when produced complex tableaux of children's bodies (often halved), executed mainly in ceramic. This work depicts placed two rows of girls (lower bodies only, open at the waist and hollow) seated on facing chairs without seat bottoms, exposing them from below, whose playfully rendered stockinged feet nearly touch. This project and similar works have been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications, and commissioned by museums.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a mid-career body of work in the mid-2000s in Elise Siegel's art: her complex tableaux of children's bodies divided into upper or lower halves made in ceramic. These figures were often hollow, precisely rendered in terms of gesture and posture, and carefully choreographed in theatrical scenes of complex, ambiguous interactions. Reviews describe them as chilling sand uncanny in their ability to project senses of psychic turbulence, vulnerability, childhood innocence and strife. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key body of distinct work in her career, which brought widespread recognition through exhibitions in major venues, coverage by major critics in publications and museum commissions. Siegel's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.

Replaceable?
