Earth Flower Sculpture

This piece of art is about brutal forces of creation, not so soft sculptural explorations, exploring and giving every fibre of your (he)art to the passion of your life, the birth of an eternal flower, the magic of earth that keeps reinventing itself, the never-ending circle of love, the energy orb that surrounds everything, the rituals of the sun cycles, connecting the textural threads, the foundation as magma core and the realization that we come from the black hole and we return to the black hole. This artwork comprises two forms: one is a circle crocheted from a variety of yarns, stiffened and hand-shaped into desired floral shape with latex/cement mixture, the second one - the centre of the piece - is a hand-sculpted paper pulp core. Many layers of oil paint and pastel complete the piece. Two types of varnish were used in this artwork: a gloss one for the core, and a matte one for the floral shape. The artwork is equipped with hanging wire.
