This thought-provoking studio sculpture depicts a kneeling, recumbent human figure in a deeply contemplative or sorrowful posture, head resting in its hands. Hand-crafted using paper-mâché over a solid, substantial interior frame or armature, the intricately textured surface features a layered collage of vintage maps, aged text fragments, and a distinctive sequence of purple graphic elements embedded along the spine. Rather than a vintage manufactured piece, this is a unique modern artwork that utilizes historical paper ephemera to create a rich, tactile patina. The piece is in fairly good condition with a deliberately aged, resin varnished finish, and measures approximately 96.5cm (l) x 55cm (h).
