Description
This artwork emulates the classical statues from the ancient world, particularly with the head broken off at the base of the neck if carved in marble. In fact I went to the lengths of making a silicone rubber mould of broken Carrara marble then casting that and incorporating it into the sculpture only to be remoulded in its entirety and cast in bronze. The reason for doing this is to show the crystalline texture that could only come from marble but exhibited here in bronze. There is a renaissance feature here of contrapposto, a twisting of the torso that lends itself well to that of a discus thrower in action.
