Torso is based
on a body cast of Geoffrey Drake-Brockman. Its
extremities are made from mirror-polished
stainless steel, while the central section is
cast white marble.
The centre of Torso makes reference to
archaeological remnants of heroic figures from
Greek antiquity. Its outer parts, seemingly
encased in "gloves" of reflective metal, evoke
a hi-tech / sci-fi "chrome" signifier.
Collaboration with Richie Kuhaupt. Finalist,
Helen Lempriere Sculpture Prize.
