Baba Yaga Series #5 “Dancing”

15” x 13” x 33”h

Originally, I started making three-legged work as part of the Baba Yaga Series. These were a group of large sculptures (around 3 or 4 feet high) whose source idea was the Russian folk tale witch, Baba Yaga, and her magical house in the forest, which stands on chicken feet and can rotate in any direction. While continuing to acknowledge the concept of “vessel,” I chose to work with three legs and a variety of strange feet because these forms, though figurative in some ways, could not be classified as either human or animal.
