Undir kímnu yfirbragði verka Valgerðar Guðlaugsdóttur býr iðulega gagnrýnin umfjöllun um stöðu konunnar í samfélaginu og um staðalímyndir sem fela í sér hlutgervingu kvenlíkamans. Fjörug samstilling líkamanna í verkinu Sköpun dregur fram mismunandi líffræðileg kynhlutverk og leiðir hugann að því að það þarf tvo til í sköpunarferlinu. Innan um karlmannsbúka með reist hold sjást smáar, spriklandi kvenverur í eigin kviði í leit að sjálfsmynd í samfélagi sem vill steypa alla í sama mót. Beneath the whimsical surface of Valgerður Guðlaugsdóttir’s works, there always lies a critical perspective on women’s place in society and stereotypes than entail the objectification of the female body. The lively juxtaposition of bodies in Creation brings out a variety of biological gender roles, leading to the idea that the creative process takes two. In among male trunks with erections, small female creatures are seen wriggling in their own belly in a quest for identity in a society that wants them all to be the same.
