The significant and sometimes contradictory moments of Darlene Witherspoon

Many people have asked me what I am thinking of when I create my pieces... at first glance they may seem like a very strange dream... I am exploring notions of growth, transformation and being, vitality and movement... with a dash of humour! I am inspired by stories of women; some I know and others I have seen in a documentary or read about... brave women... women unafraid to express themselves or to face their learning edges or to move outside the paradigm. I am interested in feminism, evolving cultures and the larger stories that we believe we must dance to. I am also an educational researcher and my art is a means to helping me explore through personal stories the big ideas that I might be grappling with. |

 I like creating whole experiences for audiences... a whole exhibition where together the pieces tell a larger story or require the viewer to participate in such a way that they create an experience for themselves. I like giving clues or teasers; for example, in cards to be selected or little booklets to be intimately mulled over. I aim to surprise and intrigue ... and even sometimes it happens! I find the female form a very luscious form to work with in clay. It is something I can feel into as a woman. As I make my pieces, with hip swaying music, I find I am feeling in my own body the energy, emotions and movement I want to express. |

In addition to my
Ladies with Attitude
range I also do wall pieces and more simple
female forms... as well
as a few explorations in different directions.
I hope you enjoy your exploration of my web site...
