"Beguiled"
"This mixed media piece, 'Beguiled,' draws the viewer into a moment of intense emotional vulnerability, a sanctuary found amidst life's harshest trials. The sculpted figure, layered with Old Holland oils and 22kt gold leaf, becomes an object of captivating, yet unsettling, observation. The artist's technique, scraping back layers to reveal hidden depths, mirrors the complex emotions at play, a sense of being charmed and deceived simultaneously. This piece evokes the raw, unvarnished emotional landscape reminiscent of The Wedding Present's most poignant work."
"Medium: Old Holland oil paints, sculpted clay, 22kt gold leaf."
"Artist's Note: 'Beguiled' explores the duality of sanctuary, the allure and potential deception of finding solace in difficult circumstances. The title reflects the complex, often contradictory emotions that arise when seeking refuge."
