Elegance



Shirley Rose Cockburn

Northern Ontario, Canada

'Elegance' - NFS

25" H x 20" W - Cement Sculpture

Working with cement is very therapeutic - it takes hours to complete the finished piece and several weeks of setting time. Handling cement is a constant balance of finding the right consistancy for sculpting - trying to maintain that edge as long as you can so that you can be satisfied with the final piece - you are working against time.

Everything that exists is beautiful in their own right. Societies have dictated what beauty should be in order to benefit their own agendas.
