Artwork notes
Interlocking bodies make an embrace legible from several viewpoints.
Materials, marks and colour
Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.
Media and surface
Clay and plaster models precede the demanding carving and finishing of marble.
Marks and structure
Balanced poses can be calm without being completely still.
Palette and light
Polish and subtle surface changes make pale stone catch light like soft skin.
