framed by a structure reminiscent of a ceremonial relic or an ancient emblem of power
and the texture of the beard echo classical forms while also speaking the language of imagined cultures
carrying the awkward elegance of an ancient soldier
The original piece was created through direct carving on a plaster slab
appears as an archaic fragment recovered from a lost mythology
Gloria Fosca LaptopSleeve framed by a structure reminiscentA childs face carved as if from ancient wood. The surface, marked by veins and cracks, seems to preserve the memory of life itself. The soft red eyes break innocence with a quiet unease, as though something were watching from another time within that gaze. Sculpture carved in plaster, based on a cast from a fine grog refractory clay model, and reproduced in resin. Painted with shellac, chalk paint, acrylics, and varnish. 16 10 20 cm 7 4 8 in
