Festival of Sculpture
Cavendish Square, Westminster, London
Core Femme
A towering image of the body's central element, the core through which life's energy flows. Curved female torsos in bone coloured resin represent stacked vertebrae in this soaring, spinal column. In the language of physiology, the backbone's topmost disc is named after Atlas, primordial bearer of the heavens and a symbol of endurance in ancient Greek mythology.
The sculpture is similarly mighty, yet graceful: a powerful metaphor for human strength of character, wisdom and spiritual growth.
