A New Man, 2026

Description

A New Man is a figurative sculpture modelled in clay and cast in plaster using traditional mould-making techniques. The figure emerges from a simplified, enveloping form, with areas of closely observed anatomy set against surfaces that retain evidence of modelling and casting. An acrylic patina gives the plaster a mineral quality, connecting the work to my broader interest in weathering, geological transformation and the figure as something shaped by time and change.
