Hi Melt Sculpture

During CoVid, I realised the absence of hearing the up close and personal greeting of "Hi" from people. Friendly exchanges were either avoided, conducted at a distance with a wave or across computer screens. We humans thrive on interaction and connection with others. A hole was left where that simple word had been so I decided to create a series of artworks with Hi as the hero. This playful one-of-a-kind piece, merging pop art and sculptural relief handwork, embodies the shared human experience and will invite a warm, inclusive energy into any space. Created from acrylic paint skins, each individually fashioned by hand into a ruffle shape. The contemporary pop art styling and welcoming word will bring a cheerful atmosphere to any home or office space in which it is hung.
