Emotive Object in Light

Sculpture

Clay, Wood, Nails, Sheet Metal

An abstracted sculptural form which embodies the emotive qualities of The Crucifixion of Saint Peter by Michelangelo Carravaggio.

The drama of Baroque is brought to life through compositional contrast, and strong visual lines which guide the cascading light.

The clay sculpted form lays in a field of nails which pierce a distressed piece of wood like nails on a cross. Enveloped by a piece of sheet metal, the sculpture is framed to place focus on the form and how it interacts with the light.
