Two small figures sit close together, a couple of many years, wrapped in a cocoon of warm tones and strange textures that shimmer faintly when the light touches them. Their smooth pale faces emerge quietly, calm and unreadable. They feel like companions who have grown still in the same weather, shaped by the same slow layers. They rest side by side, apart yet always together, on a disc of cool marble, close but self-contained; with the reassurance of the other.

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.
