Pair 2

$190.00

Two small figures stand close, their bodies joined in one pale textured form. Above them, a cloud of white wool billows softly, as though a thought had taken shape in air. Their smooth faces appear with a gentle hush, attentive, a little amused. They seem to share the same lightness of being, the same humour, a softness that drifts between them like a secret. On a dark wooden base they wait, side by side, an in-joke brings a smile to their lips.

About this series

Series: Objects : Figures: Cocooned

Layer by layer, I wrap my figures in clay, sand, pastel, paint and varnish over weeks, months even.
Their cocoon grows, smooth then rough, dark then light, always shifting. It is as if they are wrapping themselves in a shell of quiet.
Only the face remains uncovered, yet it feels slightly unreal, a mask of its own.
They stand on marble or wood, bound in place. They seem to have paused for too long, small beings that feel gentle and somehow strong, resting peacefully inside themselves.
Their presence is calming, reassuring, empathetic.
