Lamentation

The body of the sculpture is an imagined extension of Lamentation inspired by Martha Graham signature work. (1930)

​

The body of wax is shaped as an extension of grief in a kinetic dialogue, moulded into the essence of sorrow.

​

The passion, the contraction and release of the body is encased  in wax, motionless, off kilter, emotionless in entwined rope, seeds, leaves and twigs.

​

The work is autobiographical, it is primal.
