Sleep 2. The latest Figure
The latest life sized human figure is a sleeping female form defined by the luxuriant folds of the sheet that covers her.
For this piece I wanted to get away from the self portrait and to express something of the tenderness that one feels towards a sleeping companion.
In this figure I have tried to capture a moment of incredible stillness and fragility yet a sort of revelation at the miracle of life. During the making of the piece I realized that the form also makes strong connections with the landscape and with classical sculpture.
