This sculpture was created in memory of a long time friend who died early this year. The Biblical story of the prodigal son (Luke 15) was one of his favourites, and this sculpture was inspired by a photo of a large clay rendition.
The image is small (180mm x 80mm), set on the front of a card. It was sculpted in two pieces with plasticine from which plaster moulds were made. Recycled paper pulp was pressed into the plaster cast and dried, then constructed and shaped. As the work is not behind glass, I’ve used several layers of sealant on the surface.
So beautiful, so healing to contemplate, dear Heather!
The widow! xx
I knew you would recognise this one Fran – made for a special person in memory of a special person!
