Body & Soul figure 1 - sold
The panels are 10x10cm (mounted onto a wood frame 20x20cm)
This series is called "Body and Soul".
Panels are enamelled on copper, with opaque white over oxidized copper, fused into the surface is silver & copper wire / binding wire and gold leaf.
The pieces are varied in texture. The final flux over the figure is under fired, giving a subtle matting effect and a contrast to the gloss finish of the background. Additionally the gold leaf, dependant on the light, relfects a brightness which gives an added nuance to the work. The gold is fired to a fragmented state, and represents both the preciousness of life and the fragility of the human state.The images are created spontaneously. I work freely, drawing with the wire to fashion the figure, attempting to create an impression rather than a likeness, capturing what I hope to be an expression or an emotive element to the work.
Originally made for the "experimental works section" of the BSOE Woodstock Exhibition 2007
