One of my most breathtaking discoveries to date is sculptor Sarah Louise Davey. Generally, with posts like this I would do some extensive research on their background and describe the artist, their work, and what they intend to evoke, but as I read Sarah's own powerful description of her work I realized she expressed herself so eloquently that I believe she tells her story best.
"Through the vessel of the figure and materiality of clay, I create
sculptural objects and installations to evoke intuitive, visceral
responses informed by our subjective notions of physical image and
societal norms. I question my own experiences of these through the
various personalities that emerge with each hybrid portrait, as they are
often an exaggerated mix of whimsical beauty and exaggerated macabre.
Posture and pose illustrate the psychological scope of the feral female
while their wide-eyed gazes portray an emotional duality that is
constantly evolving within each beastly image. At the heart of these
works is the eternal push and pull of the spirit. The two-headed beast,
the twin within, living just beneath the skin, sharing the shell and
breathing life in through the cracks. They are psychic creatures
blistered by hope and beaten with twinges of nostalgia."
