    I really, as an artist, appreciate the deep sense of empathy you exuded having to explain the reason you stopped. The genuine hurt and pain that you empathize with is difficult to sit through comfortably, and it's probably why, even now, I have a really hard time finishing the book Pet Semetary....it's a book that just exudes grief. Everything about being an artist is putting yourself in the shoes of the people you create and it can be deeply uncomfortable and even too much to bear...

    This episode is kinda emotional... Well, as an art enthusiast, I really really understand the feeling why the artists cannot finished his/her work due to the emotion within the works. Like losing someone that he/she loved, or reminds him/her for the trauma in the past... It is very very human and you made a right decision to not made the "Children".
    And by the way, I listen you in Mais Oui! Podcast and I just recently knew that you had a bad Injury in the past but Fortunately you're able to pass those hard times and finds your way to become a sculpture, such a inspirational stories from you, never give up and keep makes some art 👍👍

    First off I have to praise you for being brave, telling the story, and reasoning. As an artist we never need excuses for what we do, inspiration is just that. I respect what you have decided to do because you are an incredible artist. Please keep them coming because you are also a great communicator on how you go about the process. Wish you have an actual class. I am new to sculpting and having a hard time knowing what to sculpt.

      @ArtChongArt  Před 2 lety +2

      Thank you :) I appreciate the kind words. I'm actually currently experimenting with with private lessons. If it all goes well, I'll expand it to a wider audience.
      When I have trouble figuring out what I want to sculpt, I work on the basics. Just do a skull study or an anatomy study. Sometimes, that's enough to get an idea going.. sometimes, it's just good practice :)

  • @parmesanwench
    @parmesanwench Před 3 měsíci +2

    I really enjoy watching your videos, both the sculpting and the thought process behind it all. Whenever I'm working on a project (resin, sewing, clay, whatever it might be), I'll often choose a "harder" way of working on something just so I can put that emotion and work into what I'm making. For example, a couple years ago my best friend had a baby. I decided to make her a big baby blanket as a present. I could have finished this blanket in a day if I used my sewing machine, but I chose to hand stitch everything so I could really think about why I was making the blanket and why it was important. I feel like unless you're an artist - or a creator in general - it can be really hard for people to understand the emotions behind what you're working on. I feel like I'm learning through watching, with you explaining why you're choosing poses or design decisions. Your work is fantastic, and I look forward to seeing updates on your channel.

    @CL053DC45K37 Před 11 měsíci +8

    I have to say having the dead child really makes a big impact on the overall theme and sculpture. The dead child brings home how haunting she is. It shows how the people in the area where she haunts feels. It's brings home the deep sadness she feels and what the people affected by her feel. I hope you make a new version and have the child there. Without the child this is just any other ghost or ghoul. Now the sculpture has lost the meaning and fear of this legend. To me it has no significance anymore. It's an amazing sculpture for sure but now it's just that a lifeless bland sculpture.

    • @AFarmerCalledChicken
      @AFarmerCalledChicken Před 3 měsíci +2

      Agreed. It feels more like a mock up of the completed piece. I feel like it’s sculptures like these that you really have to disconnect yourself from the piece.
      To shy away from death is to shy away from life.

  • @ten-chan1015
    @ten-chan1015 Před 3 měsíci +2

    I'll easily admit that I clicked this mainly for the thumbnail. I didn't read into the weight of the title, because this is CZcams, and sincerity is pretty much dead. But then I slowly got drawn into the process, watching you work on this piece which clearly held a special place in your heart that I will never quite understand because I too am poisoned by cynicism, as are the people who have eroded the sincerity across most of the internet.
    I know my comment is way late, but maybe, with the perspective of time, it can be to you and whoever bothers to read it. (Before I continue, Trigger/Content warning for the rest of my comment, basically same as the video.)
    I just felt that there was a disconnect between La Llorona and the dead child, that made it more painful, almost. In my mind I wondered, what if instead of walking away, she was actively embracing it, dragging the child into the river as she had done with so many others? Maybe this is just me, and maybe this is making it worse for most other people to consider, but I feel like La Llorona is striking because of that maternal aspect. A mother that needs a child in her arms only to keep losing it.
    To be clear, this change in posing would do absolutely nothing to lessen the tragedy of the child's death, and that is not what I am trying to imply. I just feel that to get to the core of this character, there needs to be interaction between her and the child.
    I feel like I am not quite able to put my thoughts into words, but the way she is just walking away from the dead body in your initial concept, felt off. The child needs a mother's embrace, I almost want to say, even though La Llorona's hands bring the opposite of comfort.
    I don't know. It is rare for a video to break through my iron shell of cynicism, but when it does, it does so in interesting ways, I guess.

    I understand the emotional response to this. I did skip the discussion and work on the child because I'm a mother of two and it hurt my heart (even knowing that this is a mere representation). As always, I enjoy seeing your process and hearing your thoughts as you review your progress.

    that's the thing about art, its a form of expression for most people, people can get lost in their art, there is a reason vent art exists too. i remember when I lost my father, I couldn't verbalize the pain i felt at that time, i still can't, but I could draw it. so i drew a whole lot during that time, expressing my pain the best I could, art has many intentions to be used for, and not to sound cheesy, but yes, art can be held to a very emotional standpoint and people underestimate the raw emotions and mindset people put themselves into when creating art.

    Another stunning piece, she looks so sorrowful. ❤️ Love how dedicated you are going in the shower and all hahaha.
    I think it was the right call to step away from the piece and remove the child, those are the type of feelings I'd say are good to listen too as opposed to more internalised feelings such as thinking it's just not working and wanting to quit cause you feel bad about your work. And I quite liked the video format it brought us, as it seems to me that the time that passed after sculpting makes for a different kind of reflective narration. Very informative! Wouldn't mind seeing it return someday. 😊
    Oh and yet again your beauty shots are just *chef's kiss*.
    Hope the recovery is going well! I listened to the podcast you mentioned and your accident just had me wincing to the moon and back, you are a trooper!

    Thank you for sharing this feelings and back story with us. It makes us realize that for an artist, your clay is something more than a lump of wet stuff and you identify with your work. I think it's amazing and hope to see something similar in the future (maybe not so gruesome or depressing) - the narrative behind the sculpture.
    Maybe a piece where she comes out from the river (she's visible from the bust up) and the boy is standing on the shore, still alive would be better but I'm not really sure. As for the La Llorona herself, she was always a desperate and very, very sad person (and story) for me. It speaks volumes to me each time I hear about it so I totally get where you get that feelings from.

    Art communicates. It’s a message. And art at its core says “hey look at this. This is beautiful or worth thinking about” and when it comes to horror…well…it can only be beautiful when good triumphs over evil because THEN the message is “there’s still hope”
    I mean, you can have silly stuff. Like the octopus stuff but even with that there’s a message. You get what you deserve.

    Wow fascinating. I think you made the right call. Art can be really powerful but it seems like the message of this one (as originally intended) is not one you were really wanting to communicate. I personally would have found it gratuitous and not adding much to the finished piece anyway. It's enough just to know the story of the piece to feel the emotion.

    Superb work as usual Art .. and the commission of it was very emotional as you expressed in the video. You pushed yourself and succeeded in creating something beautiful yet painful. I read that a painting should take up a place in your mind, not just on the wall. That's how I see this sculpture. ... you had an idea, you strove to create and it tore at your soul. To me that's as it should be .. passion and emotion they say won't get you very far in art, but you'll get nowhere without them ... Keep on making art, Art.

  • @roselyon131
    @roselyon131 Před 2 lety +1

    You've done a great job with this piece. As an artist myself, I understand all too well the emotion locked within a piece as you work it into its final form. What I've learned to do over the years when a work strikes me, as this one clearly has you, is step away from it for awhile. Sometimes that helps and in some cases... it just makes things worse. Writing what it makes you feel helps more than you might think. Moreover, writing it from the subject's perspective can help resolve the devastating emotions locked to the art. Fictionalize it, crawl into the character's head and embrace what they're feeling in an effort to understand exactly why they're feeling that way. It doesn't matter if you're a good writer or not. It helps you to process it through the 'muse' in order to accomplish what you set out to create. In some cases, doing that can help the 'muse' that has inspired the piece to rest easier in your mind.

    I'm guessing the grief is what got to you. The perpetual agony of killing children, and the horrible, gut-wrenching regret that would come with that. Like, I could feel why you had to stop right then and there because having to imagine what the child's face would look like. The terror, fear, and just...death. It's incredibly hard to think about or see. It's why I can never watch Grave of the Fireflies again, and why I sobbed after watching it. It represents a dark truth to reality that none of us want to think about. That the small and innocent can be taken away as easily as the old and frail. That death does not discriminate, and worse, that some people are capable of horrible things, even mothers to their children.

    I need to find new compliments for your videos ... I liked it, it was a very emotional one. The sculpture is amazing (i'm really fond of mythological caracter and story, tales and drames). I'm repeating myself but your creative process and your implication (it reminds me of the immersion of actors to get into the skin of their character) allow you to feel what you want to express for your caracter. The emotional breakdown is very well convey. Your work can't stop to amaze me, I can imagine a all story just from one of your sculpture (and this feel amazing).
    I've listened to your podcast when you mentionned it in your last video, and I hope your leg is doing ok, and that you're not in too much pain. Was the surgery meant to fuse your ankle ? (I wouldn't want to be indiscreet). I wanted to dm you to let you know that I listened to it (but i'm too shy

      Thank you Juliette :) Funny, I'm running out of ways to thank you for your kind words, and I'm very happy that the work is connecting with you. As an artist, I don't know if I can ask for much more than for the intended feeling to come across.
      Yes, the surgery is to fuse my ankle. It's feels strange to leave the info out here in public comments, but I suppose it's not really a secret lol.
      Thank you again. I appreciate you taking the time to write long these comments :D

      Do you have a link to like an Extra Credits or Overly Sarcastic style video for Durga? Not to say that I will do it, but I'm interested in myths and legends anyway (obviously)

      Here is an animated video of Goddess Kali, the goddess of destruction of the evil, an avatar of Goddess Durga
      czcams.com/video/ZIQg0sFdW0Y/video.html
      Or you can take references from Durga Puja Idols on Google.
      The universal picture of Goddess Kali is.
      1. Pitch Black skin tone
      2. Long dreadlocks
      3. 10 hands with different weapons.
      4. Wearing tiger hide
      5. Wearling garland of demons' heads and snakes and millipedes for jewellery.
      6. Drinking demon's blood.
      Overall spine chilling scary.
      While the idea of Raudra (angry) Durga is
      1. Standing on a lion
      2. With her trident in Demon Mahishasura's chest.
      3. Her lion chewing on Mahishasura's buffalo.
      4. 10 hands with different weapons.
      5. Dreadlocks, but wearing a huge crown.
      6. Wearing a saree and jewels.
      Also very scary but more carefully dressed.
      I hope this helps 😍😍
      ALL THE BEST. ❤️

    he forgot to mention that she killed his children because his husband cheated on her, and she wears a wedding dress to represent that too, you did a poor's people clothing, so she looks more like a banshee which is still cool, but doesnt give me la llorona feeling, as la llorona wears a lot of complicated white fabric. source: south american here.

    I think getting into the mind of the characters is good although I think that your interpretation of what the character was thinking was possibly wrong, just my opinion though. I think if you put your emotions on how you would feel if you were that character is what is affecting you. Perhaps the character would not have been in their right mind, I think she would have been acting on love , thinking that she was saving her kids from something worse than death. In a desperate act she drown them to save them.

    Other raconteurs use film or text to tell horrible graphically violent stories and people pay money to consume it... nobody feels guilty especially when the subjects are fictitious. You didn't create this character.

      Hmm... I'm going to assume you meant for this to be encouraging? I felt what I felt and I am not "other raconteurs". Telling me that other people don't feel this way so I shouldn't feel this way is rather dismissive, even if you meant well. Thanks for watching in any case.
