Lucille Guder "Booty Bouquet"

Berlin / April 2021 
Dry flower collage and acrylic on paper

"This picture is inspired by a vase - my favorite vase, which I bought from a friend who started her own business at the same time as me. Of course, it mostly holds dried flowers*, which I enjoy even more than fresh flowers. The reason I like the vase so much is because it is shaped like a very voluminous female hip. I like feminine shapes and I like that there are many objects now, in design and art, that play with these shapes. Sexual, feminine symbolism is popular and I'm happy about that - I like it from an aesthetic point of view, but also because it increases acceptance and therefore freedom for women. Art can create images, ideas and standards, visions for a new world. That's why it's good to see classic beauty concepts being changed. Because every body is different - perfection does not exist. That's why I love to work with dried flowers. They are parts of plants that I get as gift, because they are too small or already a bit broken and cant be sold. These flowers are just as outside a norm, as the huge ceramic booty that I use as a vase.”
