Sogol's Shadow

This is a terracotta demonstration piece I did for a college open day.  It became a little more than a life study when I used the clay I'd removed from the hollowing process to make the figure's silhouette.

I enjoy juxtaposing the figures to create varying compositions, I particularly like the interplay of negative space.

Fishwife

Fishwife is the result of a rather Bosh inspired vision I had while doing a life study - go figure?  Like Magritte, I've reversed the mermaid to create a new tension and reflection on the ancient marine myth.

Blue Shoe Girl

 Blue Shoe Girl was inspired by one of my students who always wears very feminine shoes.

In this instance the figure was taken from our life model, and the addition of the shoes a tribute to Mae and her exceptional footwear collection.
