Moss can reject you if it wants to

$190.00

A small figure stands with a bundle of moss and bark in her arms, something fragile and important, held with care. Her surface is pale and textured, catching light in a muted way. The bundle at her chest feels both tender and uncertain, she stands on dark wood, quiet and self-contained.

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.
