Lola Purple & White Sculpture

Sculptural Rocking Chair Matt Epoxy finish Glass Reinforced Plastic with Natural Rubber Base Inspiration With Lola I wanted to create a statement piece that you interact with in an engaging way. The idea was a homage to the female form and natures fertility, but people have told me they see other forms too! Process Behind the high gloss exterior lies a story of a labour of love that took nearly six months to complete. It started with creating an ergonomic chair frame which was adjusted to give a comfortable seating position while rocking. This was then covered in blocks of foam and sculpted away to reveal the curvaceous form. Many layers of a ‘secret recipe’ mix were then applied and sanded back to provide the hard smooth layer necessary to receive the final high gloss finish. This became the sacrificial form for the fibreglass mold all using a hand lamination technique. Lola has a white natural rubber base with a ‘Lola’ inscription in red rubber. This work is part of a limited edition series of 12 and can be refinished in another colour or finish for an additional cost, such as gold, chrome or leather corseted cover. As Lola is made from fiberglass it is suitable for both indoors and outside. Signed and numbered by the artist
