Torsos
When I make a Torso I aim to show the human body as a landscape, at one with the land – Mother Earth personified.
To create my torsos…
- I apply plaster bandages to the skin of the model, covering the area that is to be cast. I then fill the plaster bandage ‘shell’ with plaster to create a cast. I can then create a mould from the modified cast.
- Each ceramic sculpture is press moulded using tiny pieces of clay which I incise with different patterns before joining them together.
- The different sized clay pieces and the varied and various patterns give each torso it’s absolutely unique persona.
- They are fired in an electric kiln and then often smoke fired. (see techniques)
Please look here if you are interested in commissioning your own torso.
The torsos are made with hooks at the back so that they can be easily hung on a wall.
Torsos can be purchased directly from my studio – please contact me to arrange a visit – or you can buy them from my website.
We use UPS courier service for deliveries, and the cost is £40 within England, not including the Channel Islands. Please contact Anna for delivery to any other parts of the U.K or Europe. Anna’s mobile number is 07722171818.
