These works were created by an artist who is, clearly, highly talented. I believe that artwork is, first and foremost, a powerful medium for communicating one's feelings about something. Obviously (but secondary to that), it often evokes feelings in the viewer, as well. What I find so fascinating in reading other people's comments about the artwork presented on this site is just how much of their own "baggage" they are bringing to the observation process. Although artist's statements serve a purpose, I sometimes wish there were none.

Real beauty in your artistic technique. However, your subject matter is truly creepy.

MY REVIEW
pic a; despite the glory and srength of her person, she is srongly influenced beyound her own consciousness,to live in the form/order/kind of her pet.
pic b; his rule and royalty is safe on the strenght of his animal instinct.

veri nice

It must be amazing to actually be able to make something so beautiful.

I don't know if it's permissible to comment more than once, but forgive me Iam so taken with this amazing sculpture. I spent the day e-mailing my friends to turn them on to the wonders of Ms. Cline. I poured over her website, and was blown away to say the least. A few of my more wealthy friends will be contacting Ms. Cline, and lucky me will be finding new excuses to hang out at their places. I can't wait to experience this amazing art in person! Everyone, please look at her website.

Being an Artist ,very wise, today she has educated thousands. What of Adam ? what of cain and abel? Wassn't Piccaso into that sort of thing?
And then we had Salvatore Dali whith the chromosome meltdown Today I've read from intelligent editors, although in one case,for example, Sample should have also been included .now tonight,I will have thought,among this,mention that...

She does beautiful sculpture work, but this doesn't do anything for me. I love animals, but I can't see having a rat on her back?????

P.S. I just noticed the snake slithering over and down the young girl's shoulder. Man, that cinches it for me. (See my first comment above.)

Absolutely breath-taking artistic execution, reminiscent of Degas's sculpture of the young dancer with her arms behind her back, but both pieces unnerved me and never found a place to settle inside my thoughts or feelings. The first one seemed more a comment on the degradation of women (she is the rat with a dead one strapped to her back!). The second reminds me of a very pre-adolescent girl who is already in command of the power of her sexuality, "thanks" to our society's pressures on younger and younger girls. Her stare feels defiant and challenges - a sophisticated element of adult female sexuality, and she has mastered that handily, as well. I don't know what to do with the animal/man; the artist claims it to be a comment on the degree of sophistication of an animal's awareness of its enivronment and inhabitants. The animal/man stares, as well, so is she equating them - i.e. is he a pre-adolescent boy? I am not at all sure, but I can't look at them anymore. I so admire the artist's talent - these pieces are stunning!
