Description
terracotta clay, 10' long
This is a small piece I started as an "artist's demo" during an outdoor art festival I attended. It was interesting working on the sculpture as I was talking with people who were coming into my booth, looking at my other pieces, asking questions about my process.
I like the sweeping line of the form, as I have been experimenting with a slightly more abstract approach.
(She was actually the inspiration for my "Courage" piece, but I like the way she turned out better.)

It's like she's reaching out for something we can't see.

perhaps she is reaching for something she can't see either, but she knows is there nonetheless....

It's relatable, in a way.

One of the things with pushing a little more into the abstract form is that you are less worried about the fiddley little details, and more focused on the overall line and flow. She was a fun piece to create.
