Wave of Womanhood
ANEIZYA CAPERIDA, 2022
Clay, Aluminium can.
9 x 13 x 13 cm.
About the artwork…
Art of the ancient and modern world; materials naturally sourced, yet never combined. Our bodies during biblical times were likened to clay jars: vessels, delicate and perfectly imperfect masterpieces. Entering womanhood; a wave of identity, emotion, value and growth often disencumbers our minds of our supposed worth. As much as our new world attempts to incorporate our human ways with technological and modern ways, we will never amalgamate. Our original purpose was to be filled with content, euphoria and motivation. Our new world has created systems of attacking our earthly-bound bodies, creating stereotypes and expectations unrealistic to achievement. In this artwork, I have used clay, an earthly material, to envision a human body. You will see iron being stabbed into this “body”, representing the way our modern world has attacked us, sometimes leading to the acceptance of the deletion of our natural human behaviour. Clay and iron: beautiful but divided.
About the artist…
Aneizya Caperida, a grade 10 student based in North-West Tasmania. As a sixteen year old, she noticed that developing into a woman, a stage everyone seemed to be fond of, was not as easy as it seemed, especially with the influence of social media and trends that seem to be “the right way of life”. After her newly discovered love for pottery, she decided to incorporate clay and the theme of the art exhibition to illustrate her opinions on growing up in the twentyfirst century. Her goal is to show that her clay vessel, along with many of her artworks, like humans, are imperfect, yet still beautiful in their own way.
