sis·ter·hood

1. The state or relationship of being a sister or sisters.

2. The quality of being sisterly.

3. A society, especially a religious society, of women.

4. Association or unification of women in a common cause.

The ties between sisters are closely woven; they share a link that only the two can comprehend. Sisters are similar yet different but can rely on each other. The presence of one another is greatly important to how the other functions in the world. The thought of one leaving is hurtful, not only to one, but the other sister as well; for one is not complete without the other.

Closet Gallery Proposal

                In this work I wish to explore the idea of sisters and their absence from one another.   I will to base this piece on the separation between the two sisters where one is in our present world and the other in a future life.

                I will create two structures resembling coffins. One coffin full of flowers sits on the ground representing the past sister; the other coffin is empty and propped up ready for the arrival of the future sister.

                I will create an atmosphere in the room that is very quiet and pure.  I am planning on having the room almost completely white with little to no color.  I will be incorporating flowers covered in plaster along with additional materials.
