Seated Lady (SOLD)

Portland Stone

This carving was based on a life model I did in clay inspired by a love of Degas and his bathing figures often seen with a towel.

It was one of my earliest pieces and so the chisel work is quite primitive! I liked the unrefined look of her shapes and curves and so made the decision to stop carving at an earlier stage than first anticipated to maintain its rawness and simplicity as detail and the refining process I believe - can sometimes detract from a piece.
