PISSED
PLA, 23ct Gold, Glass
Expanding on Erin's growing digital sculptures of quotidian, working-class figures, PISSED physically manifests the often-inevitable aftermath of a raucous girls night out.
Deliberately vulgar and subversive, here the word ‘pissed’ is used not only as a verb for the act of urination and as the adjective for drunk, but also as the inevitable outrage caused by public pissing, particularly by women.
Inspired by Rembrandt’s Pissing Woman (1631), one of the first of its kind to depict female urination as an everyday act without ecclesiastical ceremony, PISSED is a means to transgress puritanical and prejudiced social, political, and religious codes of what it means to be indecent, particularly when it comes to gendered stereotypes.
