About Tied to Her Nature

“Tied to Her Nature,” created by artist Kiki Smith in 2002, is a sculptural piece that falls under the Feminist Art movement. The artwork exhibits a powerful and evocative critique on the intricate relationship between women and nature.

The sculpture captures a poignant and intricate interplay between a woman and a goat. The woman is depicted lying down on her back, her arms reaching upwards to embrace the goat that stands over her. Both figures are rendered in a dark, textured material, lending an air of raw physicality to the sculpture. The woman’s flowing hair merges with the form of the goat, symbolizing an inseparable connection. The artwork exudes a sense of struggle and unity simultaneously, emphasizing the themes of dependence, dominance, and the merging of human and natural worlds. The piece resonates with the ethos of the Feminist Art movement, challenging viewers to consider the societal constructs and inherent ties between gender and nature.
