In this sculpture a woman reacts viscerally to the horror she witnesses unfolding in the world. Recent wars and a sickening feeling that climate change is out of control drive her response as an allegorical figure standing for us all. Powerless, aghast and sickened. The stress of reflected in the fragmentation and vulnerability of the figure itself. The ‘verso’ side speaks of dreams yet to come: the ‘processing’ of what has been witnessed, something that too will be fragmented and uncontrollable. This figurative sculpture was first shown @aceartssomerton with the @royalsocietysculptors
