Bronze sculpture - Empathy

With this sculpture I wanted to express how at times we all need to be held up or supported. I wanted to create a sculpture that expressed that empathy. I initially created this work in ceramic. I was particularly happy with the form and the weight ambiguous weight distribution between the two figures and decided to have the work 3D scanned so that it could be translated into bronze. Bronze seemed appropriate for the importance of empathy especially in the current times.

For me flowers signify moments, special dates, treasured parts of your garden, times of the year, and even important people - all these things trigger memories. To suggest this I paint flowers fading in and out of detail just as our thoughts, creating elements on each canvas to discover and savour, using colour to allow the eyes to gently search the canvas at their own pace.
