Susanna

This is Susanna another sculpture by Phillip Grausman on display at the OMI location in Ghent NY.

I must admit I thought she was a boy, maybe because of the way the hair was pulled back as well as the profile.

What do I see?  A person who is shy but is placed in a spot where people gawk, and this makes her uncomfortable.

I love the arts, however I first like to come up with my intrepretation of the piece before finding out what the artist intrepretation is.

Susanna

So what do you see when you look at this sculpture of Susanna?

That actually looks a little creepy to me. Maybe if I saw it in person....

I wish that my skin was 1/2 as smooth as that skin. Wow! Quite a sculpture.

Wow, the more I look at her face the more sad I become.  I think she misses the rest of her body very much :-)

The small tight lips tell me that she is a closed, shut off person and keeps everything bottled up in her.

Jennifer  I must admit I am at a loss, but that may be the enigma and beauty of it for me

Lindsey I do think you would have more of an appreciation for it in person.

Melissa I am with you.  Smooth skin any day is what we hope for.

Mary you might be on to something :)

Teral nd she does not care much for company, certainly not a real estate personality :)

Karen That is the point I was making, we look at this sculpture and come away with different interpretations.

Her expression seems kind of prim and proper to me.

Jennifer--To me she looks like as I imagined Hester Prynne's face as she walked through town wearing her scarlett A...sad but proud.

Jennifer...I have to say, I love all the responses!  Susanna is a different piece of artwork!  She seems a little creepy and a little sad!  But after spending last weekend is Sedona amongst all the artist...Your photo tops it!  :)
