appears as an archaic fragment recovered from a lost mythology
framed by a structure reminiscent of a ceremonial relic or an ancient emblem of power
The original piece was created through direct carving on a plaster slab
Reproduced in resin with new details by assembling repurposed objects and epoxy putty
carrying the awkward elegance of an ancient soldier
Gloria Fosca LaptopSleeve appears as an archaic fragmentA childs face carved as if from ancient wood. The surface, marked by veins and cracks, seems to preserve the memory of life itself. The soft red eyes break innocence with a quiet unease, as though something were watching from another time within that gaze. Sculpture carved in plaster, based on a cast from a fine grog refractory clay model, and reproduced in resin. Painted with shellac, chalk paint, acrylics, and varnish. 16 10 20 cm 7 4 8 in
