Falling Figure 01 Sculpture by Simon Fell

Sculpture: Ceramic on Wood.

Falling Figure 01 – Operatic, an unglazed terracotta figure 3.25" in length covered in a texture created by pressing small pieces of clay onto the body with a shaped tool e.g. the end of a ball point pen lid or a screw head.

In this series of falling figures, some are based on existing artworks, this one is based on an idea of an character in an opera singing from a kneeling position and gesturing widely with his/her arms.

The figure is mounted on a black stained wooden base with a bolt through the centre of the figure. The base has the dimensions: 6" long x 5" wide x 3" deep
