Sea Green Torso
£2,250.00Stoneware Ceramic torso ( suitable for interior and exterior spaces) with glaze on wood plinth.
Standing at 72cm high Sea Green makes an interesting feature to any interior space. The truncated form depicts the female form stretching sideways with a gentle raise to the hip. Her textured torso is enhanced through the glaze and patination. Working directly from a life model and inspired by a variety of cultural references I enjoy celebrating the strength and beauty of the female form.
The plinth measures D:30xW:40 x H:75cm and is included in the price.
Please enquire if you would like to purchase the sculpture on its own.

Jade Green Torso
£395.00Stoneware Ceramic torso ( suitable for interior and exterior spaces) with glaze mounted on a stone base.
This sculpture depicts the female form with her arms gently resting behind her. She is part of a small series that I made during 2019 based on Edgar Degas’ resting dancers. Although I have ommitted the head and the majority of the legs I wanted to explore the movement and direction the arms contribute to the truncated form.

“Natasha”
£395.00Ceramic with glaze- Stoneware(can be placed in both interior/exterior space).
“Natasha” 2019 has a lovely exaggerated hip movement –this piece is inspired by female dancing sculptures found around the temples of Southern India.
I’m really pleased with her patination and although it is a ceramic glaze it has a verdigris quality.

Reclining Form
£750.00High Fired Ceramic – Stoneware.
This reclining figurative form makes a wonderful piece for either interior or exterior spaces. It has an emerging quality – as if she is coming out of the mass.
The colouration is a lovely warm “biscuit” colour which enhances the tension and energy of the curvaceous forms.

Juno
£390.00Stoneware Ceramic torso with oxide mounted on a limestone base.
This unique sculpture was inspired by a dancing figure in a standing pose, slightly leaning forward with a gentle arch in her back. I am inspired by movement within the human form and create sculptures which are made both from life and intuitively. The attractive colour has been achieved through an oxide which was painted onto the modelled clay and then fired to a high temperature.
This sculpture would suit any interior space.

Persian Blue Torso
£395.00Stoneware Ceramic torso ( suitable for interior and exterior spaces) with glaze mounted on a stone base.
This sculpture embodies a classical approach to the human form. It is glazed using a contemporary blue colour and the arched back and exaggerated raised right hip depict a sense of movement within the fragmented torso. Celebrating the strength and beauty of the female form using either clay or wax I draw influences working directly with a life model and also my imagination.

The warm blue glaze on this sculpture enhances the soft curves of the female torso. The shallow arch in her back pushes her shoulders back and her left hip is gently raised. This fragmented form has been inspired by historic references as well as working directly with a life model .

Red Oxide Torso
£390.00Ceramic with oxide wash. Stoneware(can be placed in both interior/exterior spaces).
This Red Torso has an androgynous quality about it. I wanted to create a sculpture that conveyed strength and tension in bold simple forms.
I love how the texture has been emphasised through the red oxide colour and it has a tactile quality which I believe is an important aspect of three dimensional work.

Suspended Torso
£695.00Unique stoneware ceramic with green glaze mounted on a limestone base.
Through ‘Suspended Torso’ I wanted to capture the sensation of falling backwards. I enjoy creating sculptures that depict energy and movement within the human form, sculptures that have a tactile quality that draw you in so that you can experience new qualities and appealing forms from all angles.
Suspended Torso will look great in any interior and exterior space.
