'Emerging'


Starting bid: £296

'Emerging' is a natural centre piece for the sculptures created by Viv to be auctioned. It is the largest of the alabaster sculptures and has very different characters depending on the side that you look at and the quality of light around it.

When we visited Viv's studio we had a long discussion about the work. One person said it reminded herof the sea, with the sand encrusted stone of the shore above the rolling movement of waves, while another person said it reminded them of a foetus in the womb. I saw a shape like a Henry Moore Mother and Child, with an upright pose leading to a protective embrace, but that reference was only apparent when looking at it from a particular angle.
