Great Expectations (Mary Ann Collins)

My series, "Brolingerie" depicts the strength of delicate lingerie through the use of heavy metal, bronze. You'll view the delicacies of lace that can never be penetrated. I have transformed a limp piece of fabric into a pillar of strength. Material and form have always been a huge part of my inspiration when creating sculpture. Looking for the deeper meaning is within each of my pieces. Typically innuendo and personalized reflection are found in each piece. Such is true in my Brolingerie projects: Passionate, Bronze Maiden, Shattered Dreams, War and Peace, Great Expectation, Granny Panties
