"May" by Carol Peace.

Carol Peace is a figurative sculptor based in London. Her intensely personal work is shown and collected all over the UK, Europe, the Far East and United States. Her large-scale work is permanently on show at Glyndebourne and at the Dorchester’s country house hotel in Ascot.

This sculpture in iron resin was made in May while Carol was in Barcelona.

The sculptures are made in clay, which like charcoal is quick to make marks with, once finished it is cast into bronze, those fluid marks of the making are then fixed forever.

“The work is about everyday life, in its minutia, the sheer fantastic-ness of it all.”

Tense flamenco meets upright Edwardian bursting with passion. This is for finding things when you’re not looking. This is for when things come easily, simply, without pain.
