In this sculpture I explored personal themes of inner conflict, and how I perceive myself. It references ‘masking’ - ‘the process of intentionally, or unintentionally, hiding aspects of yourself to avoid harm’ - a term heard around me for much of my life. It shows a woman who seems calm and content, yet her eyes act as a pathway to her inner thoughts, where a melancholy is echoed. Stoic Nymph (title of the sculpture) takes modern inspiration from sculptures by Coderch and Malavia, as well as also drawing from mythological references, such as the painting The Lament for Icarus – Death Wings Surrounded by Nymphs by Draper Repero. The references can be seen in the idealised gentle faces of the nymphs, and their delicacy that they possess.

Carrara marble resin
h: 46 w: 80 d: 16 (cms).
This work is a part of my series of sculptures based on the relationship between me and my twin. Demonstrating how now we seem like entirely separate beings, even though we are intrinsically linked from birth which is why I chose to show us in the foetal position. I originally wanted it to be cast in plaster, but given its properties (being brittle and weak) it was inevitably also cast in marble, however left with a rough finish, appearing plaster like. The piece references a stronger bond, but not taking away from the pure solidity of the larger more refined marble piece. Having it cast enabled me to piece the two together, creating a double-sided relief, or allow me to present them side by side like shown
