In my previous posts I told you how I came to a master class where we must have learnt to make a guitar. Instead of it we were taught to create a VIOLIN.
At the class I was the first one to finish modelling a violin from plasticine. I was smoothing its boards when the master said to me: "Look at that beautifully curved violin body! Doesn't it look like a feminine one? Why shouldn't you play with it and perhaps twist it a little bit to give it a human look." At that moment I didn't quite realised that it was a pure provocation. I found her suggestion rather tempting and... twisted the plasticine body as she told. The material seemed so soft and pliant in my fingers... I added some mass to the upper side of the front violin board and... I suddenly saw a feminine breast! I worked a bit on this part and it a few minutes it really turned into a teasingly shaped semi-spheres.
I finished my mould at home. It looked beautiful - refined female shapes could be easily read in the elegant violin body. When I brought it to the next class, the master praised my work. I was only doubtful as to further use of such nontrivial instrument. The master encouraged me to leave as it is: "It will look great if you just put it up on a decorative base. No need to give it to a doll. It's an absolute "thing-in-itself", so called "per se".
I was meditating on her words all the time as I was making my violin. When the instrument was ready, I came to a strong belief that I WILL GIVE IT TO A DOLL. But the doll should be very special. Someone who can play female violin brilliantly. A genuine virtuoso!
Who will be this character? Read my next post.
