HAND EMBRACE,2008
Material: painted and patinated terracotta
Size:width 25cm x lenght 30 cm x hight 7cm
Shipping weight: 3,50 kg (netto 2kg)
Signature: SABA 2008

This work is medium small, intimate and I'd call it a »positive«one!. It represents for me all these nice things between two persons: friendship, closeness, love, support… name it! 
Its circular construction is also emphasizing the intimacy. Many years I have been fascinated by the »language« of hands and I made a lot of versions of embraced hands, under a common title »Fragments Of Happiness«-( of which some are/will be  also on sale on Saatchi art!)
 it's all a bit tricky, because we don't know who's hands are these? of one person or from two persons???
At the moment only in terracotta is available.But if there's a special request I could provide a  bronze cast!( of course the price and time of delivery would  be different, then!)
Personally I prefer terracotta for all my sculptures- it's warmer feeling and more »human«, as bronze, which is better for transport, but it makes rather cold feeling.(of course, it's the matter of personal taste.)
 The  representation at the end it's also your choice: it can be placed on any surface (preferably on a natural stone… one ,that you accidentally found in/on a riverbank on a trip and you loved it at the first sight…. or you can place a small round stone in the middle of the hand circle… (this are just some tips)- or you have an option of hanging it on a wall! There's a ring at the »back« side already- you only need a nail in a wall(strong enough to hold its weight(2kg). If you decided to have it flat, you can also remove the ring  all together, by unscrewing it.

I'm interested in many things and I'm on the constant search of new ways to share my thoughts in the visual language, but also stories, universal human issues, issues concerning women and many more…. Therefore I'm also changing materials and forms in order to express this things! I think I don't have a particular style, because everything is subordinated. to the subject I'm interested in. I tend to shell the majority of »feeling« from the material itself. I use a huge range of materials:from classic sculpting materials (predominately clay, stone, glass bronze) to more contemporary ones, like plastic, fibre, felt, found objects, liquid….. to non-material mediums ( video., sound or animation). If I feel vulnerable I might choose felt to work with ( for "protection"), next time,if I feel like »falling to pieces«, I might decide to make sculptures made of multiple pieces that need to be assembled, or when I'm happy and content, I choose clay or metal, to show how strong I'm feeling…. So, there's clearly lndirect physical evidence of my mood/state on material itself!! I'd divide my work on two main complexes: The intimate (smallish) one and the public / large one. In the past I was interested in figure but also the fragments of the human body like hands, legs, bellybuttons, ears….although I don't work very much on figure nowadays I still return back to it now and then, because it's somehow the eternal source…. as it's for material:clay! I'm particularly interested in space, so I often work on site-specific installations. I love to work in remote places somewhere in the nature. For me it's more important the place , where I work, then how many people will actually see this work at the end…. That counts predominately for the public concept. When I work In small scale , the surrounding space is less important – although,it's never totally excluded- there I put a lot of emphasis on detail. I deal a lot with symbols and surrealistic visual language sometimes my art is very minimal, but sometimes rich in form and colour…There was time when I was quite influenced by Magritte, but also Cubism( after my travel to Africa in eighties) and Brancusi. In time of study also new English sculpture had huge influence on me , like Deacon, Kapoor, Woodrow, Caro , Cragg and many others from that generation! My art usually refers to ( personal) past events or premonition of the future or has critical, even sarcastic note to the modern society.
