Abundance, Sarah Myers Sculpture in terracotta |
Leaning lightly forward, she wraps her arms around her cornucopia brimful with fruits of harvest. A late summer wind stirs in her hair and in the bowing grain.
This sculpture was created very quickly and spontaneously from my favourite earthenware clay, a terracotta whose formula was originated by my sister and which I make from the dry minerals. The warmth of the clay's tone matches the tumbling fruits and gentle, reaching arms of the figure.

I love it, the face and the proportions are perfect ... and I like the intense color of the terracotta.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sarah!!
Thank you immensely for your kind, encouraging words, dear Belén! I, too, like the colour of the clay, it is a formula invented by Amy and wonderful to work with. I wish you a most beautiful new week!
