Mysterious Figure
Mysterious Figure

Pear wood on slate base; height 40cm incl base.

The figure that resulted when I carved directly, without preparatory drawings or models, keeping in mind the ancient Chinese poem that includes the lines 'The spirit of the valley never dies, This is called the mysterious female....Dimly visible,
it seems as if it were there.'
