ABOUT THE ARTWORK

July 2024 Artwork published in Masterful Minds Digital Magazine #2 curated by Circle Arts and published by World Wide Art. This second series of sculptures started in 2021 and completed in 2023 pays homage to the environment, climate change and mother earth's elements of nature - wind, water, earth, air and fire. Inspired by one of my illustrations, this original decorative wall sculpture, made by hand from white raku clay and embellished with pointillism, interesting texture and ornate decoration. Inspired by the phoenix who is an immortal bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. While it's part of Greek mythology, it has analogs in many cultures such as Egyptian and Persian. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor. This sculpture was broken at a few points, inspired by the kintsugi repairing technique, in this instance glued back together at multiple points with epoxy glue then spray painted in metallic rose gold then sprayed with a clear UV protection varnish to bring it back to life and give the sculpture a more luxurious appearance. The break points of the sculpture are not visible to the naked eye. It is inspired by the belief in the beauty of imperfections and the rise of the phoenix. An organic evolution with each sculpture, each piece is unique, no two are the same. Displayed together as a series this will be stunning addition to any art exhibition, wall space, a unique conversation piece.
