I tend to be attracted to big, bulging forms. I think I conflate bigness with fullness and abundance — full ownership of desires, full embodiment, full fridges, fully grown, fully actualized. my own embodiment and life is kind of shrunken so bigness feels emboldening and spacious

Umm me too ? kind of also maybe not exactly I think i see roundness and associate it with gentleness as well as abundance n feels like a safe space

Named after a mountain in Switzerland, Muttler is part of a 1985 series called Deutschsprachige Gipfel (German-speaking peaks), featuring work Herold made from pairs of underwear stretched on wire armatures and placed atop pedestals of inexpensive particle board.

I don't think this is interesting because it's cheap and 'inexpensive' materials with a title alluding to Mountains in switzerland. I think that's secondary to why it's good. It's aesthetically lovely. The colout of the pants with the particle board and the text of the word Muttler centrally placed is satisfying. The form of the pants is transformed and the sense of interiority and exteriority holes makes it visually interesting and the little legs rising it up off the plinth ahhh yummy yummy .... AND the photo is great not of the whole thingb but of the whole object on the plinth just keeping it simple mate centrally aligned but also with lots of space around it so the image can breath the object sings through this documentation and can reach even further audiences and live on. Sometimes sculpture isn't degraded by being photographed i think this does it justice but it would be lovely to experience in person.

Sebastian SEBASTIAN sebastian SEBASTIAN. Oh what lovely delicious work you make. And i'll tell you for why some of his work consists of these forms made up of foam which is clothing tacked together and scratched into these forms are nostalgic childrens illustrations with the same kind of gentle rotundness in the drawings as in the forms. In an interview he said something about like the inflated look because trends and things become inflated and then pop or something silly like that. That might not be the case or something picked on when viewing the artwork in person.... I just love them because they feel gentle and kind and warm... thats why i like those kind of shapes. also repetition in the clothing tacks. always lovely when dots things securings objects repeated
