Gloria KoeA childs face carved as if from ancient wood. The surface, marked by veins and cracks, seems to preserve the memory of life itself. The soft red eyes break innocence with a quiet unease, as though something were watching from another time within that gaze. Sculpture carved in plaster, based on a cast from a fine grog refractory clay model, and reproduced in resin. Painted with shellac, chalk paint, acrylics, and varnish. 16 10 20 cm 7 4 8 in
