“Shoe In” Sculptures by Gwen Murphy

Talk about feeling like someone is looking up your skirt.  At first, these pedi-sculptures made me want to run.  After walking around with them for a little while however, I can see how one might develop an addiction.

Artist Gwen Murphy wins this week’s prize for putting her best foot forward.

  1. I like these shoes sculptures. Is it possible to buy for collection? If so, where?
    Let me know.

  2. Betsy – just saw this today — sorry for the many months delay! You can follow my blog (http://www.juliaberkley.com/sticking_to_art/) by filling in your e-mail in the lower left hand corner. If you prefer, you can do the same (lower right corner) on my website (http://www.juliaberkley.com), where I post new pieces as they’re completed. I’m also on FB as Julia R. Berkley Works in Fabric. I would love for you to follow me, and am a fan of Artstormer as well! I hope it’s okay that I posted the links. Please delete if it’s against your policy…

  3. Ola! Artstormer,
    Thanks for that, The Manner house of Salvatore Ferragamo is broadly believed to a person of the finest designer footwear retailers in the planet at the moment. Ferragamo sneakers are on par with with even goods from Jimmy Choo. Most that keep in contact with the vogue community would know this. But for those people that will not, here’s a brief rundown of the model. Salvatore Ferragamo, who was of Italian descent, was born on the June the 5th, 1898. He arrived from a notably substantial household comprised of 13 siblings and is the founder of the brand name. His passion for creating luxury sneakers started when he prepared his initial pair of sneakers for his sister’s confirmation ceremony at the age of 9.

  4. I’m sure high end shoemakers work very hard to give their work personality. After all, they want their shoes to speak to the woman and call to the man considering them. Given the uniqueness, the character, the intimacy required it would seem all that’s missing are eyes, mouths and tongues.

  5. that is clown-level creepy, but I do like the way each expresses it’s personality!

  6. I am feeling less creative in comparison. Thanks for continuing to broaden my horizons. Hats off to Gwen Murphy!

  7. Her studio’s around the corner from mine, and I see her work at open studios every year. Always amazes me how she finds the personality that the shoe evokes and then expresses it in the faces.
