In Bath-Saxum, two figures are inextricably linked by a cerebral connection, realised in patinated bronze.

Languishing in the basin of a boy’s open head, a young girl emerges from the vessel of his mind. She is an embodiment of memory, symbiosis and connection. Each sculpture is finished with gold leaf detailing, highlighting a small crack in the side of the boy’s head.

“The injury is highlighted as a part of one's history, a trauma and scar that is turned into something beautiful - a feature, rather than a defect.”

Bronze with a mottled patina finish and gold leaf detail.
