Bob Clyatt
Emma

2024

About the Item

The piece is based on Australian super-model Emma Champdaloup who really has those planar features, soaring cheekbones and intense gaze. I saw in the piece an archetypal female power, and created the dynamic twisting hair structures to give form to the energy I was seeking. Emma 2024 reflects my long-time focus to affirm and model people who are free and clear, unbowed, comfortable in their own skins. Sculpting the bust, bringing these beings to life in clay is a lot of fun. Yet this type of careful, skill-based realism can sometimes seem out of step with current artistic trends. Nonetheless, I’m convinced that the classical sculpted bust can still endure as a viable contemporary art form, which I aim to do by staying open to the new and unexpected and incorporating that in my process.
