About this artwork
Inspired by Georgia o’Keeffe, this bronze resin sculpture on the face of it represents a flower - as well as a potent feminine symbol.
It is a from closely based on an arum lilly, with sinuous lines; the sculpture consists of two parts: the vessel like root stock, and the large leaf stretching and yearning upwards.
Flowing lines describe a vessel gradually openning as it grows upwards ."Arum Lilly " makes me reflect about “feminine” qualities… of holding, containing and receiving .Often falsely considered “passive”, these qualities are subtly active: allowing, selecting, responding, within the steady time scale of nature.
