Kneeling Woman, Sarah Myers
Sculpture in terracotta |
Kneeling – perhaps
dancing – the sculpture poises her delicate arms out and upward; in
these images she is holding aloft a branch of brilliant bougainvillea
flowers. She was finished after two days' effort, a short time that
was mainly a race against the rapid drying of her tiny fingers in the
desert atmosphere. After the kiln, she is a light but rich
terracotta red, her colour that of a very handsome clay whose formula
was developed by my sister
Amy Myers. The spontaneous backward turn
of her head and neck, the light lifting of her arms, the sense of
motion, match the bright colour of the clay and the sunlight in which
these pictures were created.

I am very pleased this work brought happiness, dear Aggeliki! Deep in my heart are those tiny terracotta sculptures of Greece which carry so much life, such eternal youth...
