In the Mould of the Fathers – Objects of Sculpture, Subjects of Legacy. With a text by Luca Trabucco

Abstract

In this text Jane McAdam Freud interrogates the forms and processes used in portrait sculpture with the objective of exploring her conscious and unconscious drives. Contextualizing these self-portraits, she shows the works that led up to her returning to the self as a focus for sculpture driven by feelings of the responsibility of heritage. Furthermore, the paper focus on some points related to the work of sublimation and memory, from the perspective of a creative work that is put in place by the dream/artistic work.
