Title: | Nativity. Year: 2000. Medium: Bogwood with amethyst, bogwood, bronze. Dimensions: 60 x 21 x 25 cm |
Synopsis: | Table-top sized figurative standing sculpture in bogwood, with a bowed head and indentations to denote facial features. The head is epoxied with amethyst crystal to represent curly hair. The sculpture's shoulders slope downwards and the convex back suggests a burdened posture. Ridges denote hands holding a detachable baby Jesus figure made of bogwood that rests on the sculpture's lap. The baby figure has a humanoid appearance. A coat of epoxy has been applied to the surface of the sculpture and the baby Jesus to give both a smooth and polished texture. This sculpture is identified as the third piece of an assembled eight-piece 'Nativity' series. The base is bronze. |
