Ripley

I do not think there is a movie series I've watched more times than the Alien Saga. Between Ghostbusters and the Alien movies, Sigourney Weaver is at the top of the list of women of film that has influenced how I perceive feminine strength. When I was invited to participate in a NYC art show in honor of Sigourney Weaver and I jumped at the opportunity to let my mind wonder with what to do. 

There are two sides to Ripley that make her a lasting character. It's not only her badassness against an alien queen, but also the maternal qualities she possessed for a child or for a cat. 

I recreated her powerloader out of cardboard, trash bags and duct tape for the first image. The second image focuses more on the softer side of her character influenced from one line in Alien Resurrection where she refers to the alien queen as "My Baby".
