  • Hand-coloured Print of weeping mythical sculpture angels in Walnut Frame
    Located in London, GB
    Hand-coloured tableau of a weeping spirit and her guardians, immobilised in marble.

Taken from The Sialia Marbles, a series of portraits containing ephemeral human sculptures taken between 2016-19. Together these works act as tales contained in a fictional sculpture hall, in direct reaction to Andre Malraux’s 1947 Le Musee Imaginaire (Museum Without Walls). During the beginning of the 'Museum Age' in the 18th century , writer Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe discussed mythical...
