A Small Sculpture, Kneeling Woman - Sarah Myers

Kneeling Woman, Sarah Myers
Sculpture in stoneware

  She kneels back on her heels, her arms outstretched to catch a garland of silver chain or whatever is placed in her delicate fingers. She looks down – intent and tranquil at the same time, head turned a little aside.

    This tiny sculpture is barely 13 cm high, its details formed with a gentleness appropriate to its size; but in the stretch and the simplicity of position there is a hint of monumentality, and it makes her, for a moment's glance, a real statue expressing her own quiet vitality and gravity.

Head of a Child - Sculpture by Sarah Myers

Head of a Child, Sarah Myers

This sculpture of a young child looking expectantly upward is one of my most recent works, a small bust in terracotta created for my mother. He is about 18 cm (7 inches) high and modelled in a rich, warm earthenware, a clay whose composition was developed by my sister Amy Myers. I am pleased with the baby's vitality and by the bright, childlike spontaneity in his expression.

Music of the Orchids - Photography by Sarah Myers

Ethereal
Sarah Myers, Photography

 In pale light, the tiny orchids immaterialize into fluttering wings, dancing up and down across the arch of their stem. But the miniscule blooms are full of fragrance that dances with them; the air is full of a beauty whose melody - or tinted haze - or intangible happiness - floats far beyond the little handful of white-and-pink flowers.
