Artist Brief on Work Produced
My sculptural practice is essentially figurative in nature. I have attempted at an illusionist realist projection of the motif of the child. The challenges of portraying the figure of the child are numerous. One of the most problematic areas concerning the presentation of the child’s figure is to effectively bring physical and emotional associations related to the child. The contemplated physical tenderness in sculptural presentation of the figure of child is brought about by transposition of a clay model figure of the child into a wooden sculpture. The process of this transposition involves major investment of time in forming the motive. Often I directly use accessories like found garments shoes polyester & gunny bags etc. To bring in a naturalistic, close to life projection of the composition. Inclusion of used garments and other accessories brought from local markets selling second hand goods bring in a sense of poignancy in the presentation. Needless to mention here that this is unintentional I try to stimulate this element in wood to give the presentation a naturalistic orientation. Therefore I simultaneously refer to photography, sketches and drawing from life models in conceiving and forming the composition in clay. The translation of this presentation into one material wood is to bring about a uniformity that on one hand relates to the source that is reality and negates it as well creating an artistic ambiguity. The uncanny and cerise feeling an onlooker would get from the clay composition with real and used accessories are turned into a sublime poignant language in the final composition curved in wood.
