She studied sculpture at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, and at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Primarily a sculptor, she also works in the medium of drawing. The drawing 'Nemesis' is related to a group of drawings with the overall title <i>Lacing Atropos,</i>works in which male and female figures are almost completely wrapped in narrow bindings. In Greek mythology Atropos was one of the three Fates, responsible for cutting the thread of life. 'Nemesis' invites interpretation, but offers no obvious narrative in return.","physicalDescription":"Two nude female figures entwined (one upside down) and bound with ribbon. On the right are a number of sacks, and at the top more ribbon is suspended above the figures. The background is a yellow and green watercolour wash.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Sivak, Marie","id":"A19747"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"pencil","id":"x30347"},{"text":"pen and ink","id":"x30618"},{"text":"watercolour","id":"x33202"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawing (image-making)","id":"AAT54196"},{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Pencil, pen and ink and watercolour","categories":[{"text":"Drawings","id":"THES48966"},{"text":"Woman Artist","id":"THES387590"},{"text":"Nude","id":"THES271218"}],"styles":[{"text":"American","id":"AAT107956"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2009BW6930","2023NP7950"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLH","id":"THES49654"},"free":"","case":"WD","shelf":"214","box":"C"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"drawing (image-making)","id":"AAT54196"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2005","earliest":"2005-01-01","latest":"2005-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"21","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"15","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"This drawing is part of the '40 Artists - 40 Drawings' series acquired as a group in 2007","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Drawing, 'Nemesis', Marie Sivak, 2005.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[{"text":"Nemesis","id":"x39294"},{"text":"bondage","id":"x42777"}],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.2595-2007"],"accessionNumberNum":"2595","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":2007,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-10-02","recordCreationDate":"2007-07-13","availableToBook":false}}
