Figures






My style of figurative sculpture has developed away from the rendering of an accurate image towards a more expressive style.
This piece is called 'Off balance'. Height 50cm. Currently this piece is shown in black wax on a wooden plinth. The form is simplified and exaggerated simultaneously, aiming to give a sense of movement and drama, a sense of forces working in opposition. The Kim Kardashian influence is clear but also the work of the surrealist fashion photographer Tim Walker and his collaborator Shona Heath. I was hugely inspirational in their manipulation of the human figure. They push the extremes, taking images into the realms of dreams and nightmares and redefining beauty. The figure clad in nylon tights gives a further sense of struggle and frustration, changing the narrative .
