The beautiful blue durable stoneware clay back sculpture can happily be hung outdoors by two hooks. The wings can be made from two branches that tie on, I include the fabric, which can be draped on but there's no pint shipping the branches. They can be sourced locally from a flower shop or a forest. The fabric can decay like prayer flags in all weather. I would just tie more fabric on every year or so. The back also looks good without the wings. This androgynous Icarus sculpture is cast from a woman. This Icarus is already falling, with expressive movement of the back. This whole piece is about finding out our human limits – flying to close the sun or playing too near the edge (whatever that may represent for you). He/She has already been flying too close to the sun and the wings are in tatters now and Icarus falls! I finalised this piece in the gallery situation. The other artists were dallying around, so I thought I would too. The morning of the exhibition opening, I went up to a friends garden to select some long quince branches for the wings. The wings I had previously made, were small and just not substantial enough. However I left them on as well, as a kind of an insect like bi-wing. I pruned the long branches and wrapped them in some frayed fabric remnants I got hold of, from some worn out giant flags from Glastonbury festival. I chose the coppery colour to compliment the blue glaze of the back. The wings were originally designed to go high up a long tall wall or across a wide wall. It was the curator, Gareth’s idea to have them coming into the room of the gallery – which I really like. The whole piece is about finding out our human limits - flying too close the sun, or playing too near the edge (whatever that may represent for you).

Emma is a London born and educated artist, digital video maker and designer – her artwork straddles stoneware sculpture, cyanotype printing, painting (watercolour, oil and acrylic), illustration, photography, fabric art, animation and vector design. Emma's art is highly personal, her subjects include her friends (animal as well as human), places she’s visited, experiences and things that capture her imagination. Her artwork is uncontrived and free from trying to be anything other than what it is. "At the core of Emma Plunkett's work is the female. Not feminine or politicised. Whether it be a disappearing view of trees into the Spanish horizon, a slithering viscous ceramic or a candid nude. It is always individual and genuine. This we must celebrate”. Gareth Lister - Artist & Curator
