Woman with a Small Bird, Sarah Myers
Sculpture in terracotta |
She looks at the
small bird held lightly, carefully, in the palm of her hand. The
bird gazes back, its head slightly turned to catch her in its view.
The woman sits
with one knee drawn up, the other leg bent as she sits on the ground;
her long skirts fall in heavy folds around her. Many elements are
meant to convey a connection, over the millennia, with the bright,
gentle spirit of the Tanagra figures from ancient Greece. But though
she is of the same lively orange-red earth – terracotta clay, full
of iron, that can be found across the globe – and though she sits
so still - motionless, with her tiny finch that never flies away - she
is from a much younger world, the one that belongs to you and me...
