About The Artwork
This sculpture represents a perfectionist, as exemplified by the bird. The woman thinks a perfect bird is a caged bird, as opposed to a bird that flies freely. In order to underline the paradox between perfectionism and reality, pencil lines to underscore structural lines on the sculpture have been made with a black underglaze pencil. This also contributes to making the sculpture a drawing on a top of the sculpted surface. The style was inspired by French cubism. It is a 2 part sculpture: the top part is the woman holding the dangling bird in the steel cage. It rests on a second part which is a small pedestal.

Annick Ibsen is a sculptor and painter. Born in Paris and a resident of Des Moines for the past 15 years, she also experienced a breadth of cultures living in Africa and Asia. Her neo-cubist sculptures displace the viewer's expectations to unveil the actual. In her search for realism, she also establishes connections between figurative and sculptural art forms with mixed media paintings that explore negative space. Perhaps sculpture is not the form that fills space, but how the form opens space in relationship to it, including in the mind of the viewer.
