Blue woman sculpture matt degenaro

Being married to a slim athletic woman all my life, that was my orientation to women’s bodies in general. When I took up Argentine Tango dancing, I began to discover the variety of women’s bodies through the physical connection of dancing with a partner. For the first time I was encountering, experiencing and understanding women’s bodies of another type; Round, soft, and buoyant. The gentleness, the agility, the smoothness of motion, the fullness of physicality, all these thing sunk into my brain and slowly created the awareness which manifested in the sculpture Blue Woman. If you are a woman, round and soft, nimble and ebullient with an open and generous spirit, this sculpture celebrates you!

This is the color of blue. All apart for painting. I‘d love to show a pic of her put together again, I’ll try, but I spend too much time dancing Tango to put her together, take good pictures and take apart again for delivery to ArtPrize in Grand Rapids this weekend. I’ll at least put up good pictures of her when installed at the site.

Here’s my personal page on the ArtPrize site, and here’s the page for the venue where I’m hosted, 300 Ottawa. This is a great site, across the street from the famous Calder sculpture La Grande Vitesse, and the people there are super-nice.

BTW my vote code is 56214.

Whatever you have heard about ArtPrize, you should go and read about it yourself. In my opinion, it is a innovative and an expertly run event. This is the fifth year, and it continues to evolve. For instance, this year there is a public vote prize as usual, and a professional juried prize too.
