Title: Bishop. Year: 2000. Medium: Bogwood with polyester and epoxy resin, glass and amethyst, wood. Dimensions: 94 x 13.5 x 14 cm
Synopsis:

Medium-sized standing figurative sculpture in bogwood, with a prominent rounded and narrow tip projecting upwards epoxied with green glass and amethyst crystal. Cracks in the wooden body of the sculpture are epoxied with green glass fragments along the sides and on the lower section just above the base, then an additional coat of epoxy has been applied and polished, giving these sections a smooth, blended texture. Another patch of amethyst crystal is epoxied as a knob extending from one side of the sculpture just below the narrow tip. The sculpture resembles a robed bishop wearing a jewelled headdress or mitre and carrying a crozier. The base is wood.
