Artist Comment

The concept of the sculpture depicting the head of a baby literally coming out of the cervix at birth. I try to express that way to be reborn when we receive oxygen through a liquid medium to a gaseous medium, inhaling the first breath and expressing ourselves immediately with tears. Its shape is oval, simplifying the body in an embryonic form, like an egg. Mouth open to receive the new world and open to yell. In terms of technique, it`s something I`ve been working a while, this is newsprint. It involves rolling one to one on itself hundreds of sheets of paper to get a new tree with its rings and then carve sculpture in that new identity of matter. As a painter, I use the paper as support and as a sculptor I care to dignify not noble materials such as marble or bronze, but something everyday that changes in shape and becomes a work of art.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
