A quietly powerful sculptural head formed in clay and finished with a richly layered patina that evokes aged bronze and stone. The surface is mottled and tactile, with subtle variations in tone and texture that give the piece a sense of time and weather — as though it has been unearthed rather than made.
The face is pared back and contemplative, with softened features and a steady, inward gaze. There’s a timelessness to the form that feels both ancient and modern, sitting somewhere between classical portraiture and mid-century abstraction.
Mounted on a solid timber base, the sculpture reads as a true object of presence — equally at home on a pedestal, console, or bookshelf. It anchors a space in a way that purely decorative pieces never quite do.
This is the kind of piece that draws you in slowly. It doesn’t shout. It holds.
