In the absence comes the effigy. Memories can be endowed to a likeness. However crude, erotic or beautifully executed. This piece is a small vase made of a glazed ceramic female torso suspended in a hand formed brass corset with a base made from an old army fuel can. It is inspired by the theme of folk erotica that has transpired through out all art through out all of time. Images crafted from available materials. Images made in urgency and longing and memory and homage.
