Work in progress, slowly building and removing and allowing the clay to harden in a measured way, so much to learn about this medium! I haven’t decided yet if she is a giantess, a miniature or average size. Working in the realm of metaphors wanting to create meaning for myself. She represents a delicate, vulnerable human-plant hybrid for me, deciding what more I will do with her.
This is a piece based on a painting I did called "Helix", and it twists the original notion I had in another direction and works as a variant. Painted purposefully ambiguous while thinking about ; matter, stars, lovers, flux, spirals, flowers, molecules racing around, turning.... Like language I find myself often painting in signs and metaphors.
"Turn" oil on Linen, approx 3'x4'
