The Greeter SOLD
A Contemporary Twist on Classical Sculpture, these cast of characters takes centre stage upon their own ceramic plinth, ready to be placed in the home.
The Greeter, from Podium Series, is a quirky, one-of-a-kind figurative sculpture who adds an element of drama to the home;
Perhaps he blows a kiss of love at the door, or dramatically emphases a point with his hands in the living room? Maybe he nostalgically reminisces over a memory whilst he overlooks the garden or finds the food exquisite in the dining room?
That’s between you, the sculpture and each and every viewer he meets. A sculpture to provoke endless stories - unique to the day, audience and the room he finds his stage.
Each unique figurative sculpture is handmade using high-quality clay. Every part of the design is crafted with meticulous attention to detail by hand modelling features to capture movement, emotion and subtlety of expression.
A one-of-a-kind ceramic sculpture packed with emotion, hand-crafted design and a touch of light-hearted fun.
The Making of The Greeter:
Each unique figurative sculpture from Podium Series is handmade using high-quality clay and attention to detail. Every part of the design is crafted with meticulous attention to detail by hand modelling features to capture movement, emotion and subtlety of expression.
Starting from the feet up, I try to find the information, the clues, to unlock the story of the character. A twist of a knee, an inverted foot, the tilt of the head or flex of a muscle all culminate to form each figure’s individual persona.
Once made, the sculpture is completed with a combination of raw-oxides to further enhance details before being painted with a satin white underglaze and covered with a crackle glaze. Once out of the kiln, the final part of the process includes coating the sculpture with a warm toasted brown stain that seeps into all the crevasses of the crackle glaze and wipes away to reveal an antique painterly finish.
