How wonderful to see them all together!
How intensely powerful, yet somewhat sombre and painfully macabre, these figures seem, but…. Wow!! What an incredible impact they all have, when so closely configured together as a single group! Was this intentional? Because it really works so well!!
An extraordinary collection.
yes the group dynamic adds a very powerful element I really appreciate all your comments thanks Patti
yes absolutely intentional they were made to be exhibited together – it is my entry for the gold coast international ceramic award – since taking this photo I have actually changed one of the figures for another some new pics to follow soon. Entries have to be ready and at the goldie by next friday – so I have been working down to the wire – final pieces were only fired this week 🙂
thanks Elena – not something I think you would want to wake up to !!
Nice bunch: colorful, strong presence and very suggestive!
Thanks Andre appreciate your comments
I’m glad to hear that you are exhibiting this lot as a group. They form a powerful presence together and there is this “bizarre circus” quality to them.
yes they certainly have more presence as a group but as with any juried show – I am, at this stage, only hopeful of selection. If not this show I will look for another where the group can be exhibited together – hope you are enjoying your summer.
Incredible! Oozing character and strength.
thanks Karen and it is very pleasing that they are going to be exhibited together as a group – much more powerful 🙂
