1960, Aduard, The Netherlands |
| 关于此艺术家 | |
The anatomical exactness that comes from accurate observation imbues Marjan Wouda's sculptures of animals with disconcerting physical veracity, yet their skin, hair, feathers, claws and projecting bones show how the clay was impressed with a range of disparate materials and shaped before casting. Much, though not all, of her work is concerned with exploring the nature and burden of the role of the mother. Her stoic she-goat passively accepts the alien presence of the laughing/barking dog and the calm drake that carries the terrified cat will, one feels, get them both safely to their destination. She explores the inherent tensions between the two sets of animals by the dynamic of the composition, and revels in the different qualities of fur and feathers. |

Laughing Dog
1999 |
)
|
| One of a series of sculptures based on the traditional English Nursery Rhyme of Mother Hubbard and her dog. This is how mother Hubbard finds her dog on her return home - besides dead (or pretending to be), dancing, standing on his head or riding a goat. In this curved form he could indeed be rocking with laughter. |

|
| Commissioned by publisher, poet and former editor of Oz magazine, Felix Dennis, this the first and only (?) public sculpture on the Caribbean island Mustique. Based on a small indigenous species sporting red scales on its legs, the sculpture is about 10 times life size. To people living on the island the sexual activities of the tortoise do not go unnoticed because of the accompanying sound effects. To see them portrayed thus brings a smile to many.

Zachte Kracht (gentle strength
1997 |
)
|
| The unicorn symbolises feminine, healing energy. I drew her from observations of a deer, a foal and a goat. Although she is an elusive creature I emphasised her physicality with fleshy skin and trembling muscles. (The title is taken from a Dutch poem about the gentle strength of women)
Currently on show at Broomhill Sculpture Garden, Barnstaple, North Devon |

Roll-up II
2006 |
)
|
| A sleeping squirrel monkey, enlarged to apelike dimensions. The artist: “I was drawn in the first place by the perfectly circular form of the monkey’s pose. However, as I started exploring the piece further through small clay maquettes, I was astounded by the power of our association and identification with it. It is as though we remember how we were: fearful in a hostile world.

Stork
2002 |
)
|
| Created while pregnant with her 3rd child, “ a magical visitor from distant places and distant times, a bringer of possibly unsettling cargo”.
Currently on show at Newby Hall Sculpture Park, Ripon, Yorkshire

Mothermonkey
2006 |
)
|
| One of a series of sculptures featuring in the Wagging Tongues exhibition-currently touring the UK- this piece is inspired by a proverb from Martinique: “The monkey smothers its young by hugging it too much.”
The artist: "I remember thinking, when my youngest child was only hours old (primitive and monkey-like as newborns are), that the monkey would make a good subject for a new series of sculptures. And so it is that this piece fits into another line of enquiry – besides that of proverbs – namely that of the exploration of ourselves at our most primitive.
It is a dark proverb; a negative comment on motherhood. It interests me because it makes us feel uncomfortable; clearly there are ideas here that we need to look in the eye. Mothers fail sometimes to be good mothers. A mother’s love – or her need to be loved - can be crushing, her devotion overwhelming, her protection stifling.
The sculpture is based on a simple image of mother and infant. It could a tender picture, and it is only when you read the proverb that it occurs to you that all may not be well. The sculpture does not illustrate the proverb; instead it alters the meaning.

Big Fish (eat little fish)
2005 |
)
|
| One of a series of sculptures featuring in the Wagging Tongues exhibition-currently touring the UK- this piece is inspired by a great English proverb; so visual, so simple, so direct and so true.
The sculpture is both a mobile and a “drawing in space”. The little fish are based mainly on images of fish skeletons; they are already part digested by Mr. Big Fish.

About Beauty
2006 |
)
|
| One of a series of sculptures featuring in the Wagging Tongues exhibition-currently touring the UK- this piece is inspired by a Middle Eastern proverb: “Being slim is the property of the gazelle, being corpulent the property of the big horse.”
How do we define beauty in a man or woman? Is it not becoming ever more problematic for our young people to fit into perceived ideals of beauty? The proverb reminds us that beauty can be found in many different things and that bulky can be as beautiful as slim.
