Working My Way Down Sculpture

A long, low sculpture from my Insect series, exploring the theme of ageing, using selected reshaped pieces of wood, arrested in decomposition and adorned with paint and resin. It has mossy blues, golds, browns and olive hues on the outside and golds on the inside.  Mounted on a waxed, reclaimed wood base engraved with artist initials and the title "Working My Way Down".  There is a butterfly and 2 predatory insects inside, eating their way down to the solid wood end.  Base dimensions - 73cm x 20cm. Sculpture on top approx. 58cm x 7cm. Height with base 27cm. My wood and resin sculptures are works of many layers, abstract in appearance and expressionist in nature, they combine solidity and fragility and are highly intuitive works, developed in sympathy with each piece. This work from my Insect series includes hand made-insects (boring insects, butterflies or moths with luminescent wings), and the openings in the sculptures allowing the inner light to be seen…and also the bugs eating away at us. They benefit from being placed in good and changing light, so that the glossy finish, metallic paints and nuances in colour take on different hues with that light.
