MADONNA STATUE

Il Trittico | Scottish Opera (2023) | Designed by Charles Edwards

Starting with a polysterene base, I used thick cotton fabric soaked in a water and PVA mix to create the drapes of her clothes. The face, hair and hands were sculted from Chavant clay. After moulding the entire piece, I created a hollow cast by laminating fibreglass and resin inside the mould. The piece was painted using Rosco paints to match the distressed finish on the walls. She was then mounted onto a wooden plinth.
