"Sculpture ""F??tus"

Title: Ftus Year of origin: 2009 Ftus belongs to a series of related forms that deal with the themes of seed & egg, embryo & seedling, navel & folds, skull & capsules, dream & sleep, etc. An illustration shows several of these pieces in a synopsis in the so-called Seminarium. This embryonic form is handmade & polished from Jena alabaster. The circular eye & the open fontanel are gilded with leaves. Place the Ftus on a soft piece of fabric, fur, felt, etc. - the hand-friendly stone surface invites you to touch it - but be careful in the area of the fontanel: touch it only very lightly, otherwise the gilding will be rubbed off over time. On the back of the sculpture, a hole is inserted in such a way that the relief can also be hung on the wall on a nail or screw pointing slightly diagonally upwards. It is recommended to use a softly coloured wall or a discreetly monochrome cloth stretched behind it in order to optimally accentuate the effect of the circular shape, the plastic forms & the material structure. A white or generally too light background is not recommended. Height: 11 cm, Width: 24 cm Length: 25 cm Weight: approx. 11 kg Important note: - Jena alabaster is not suitable for outdoor installation - rainwater attacks the surface & destroys the structure over time. - Protect from heat above 100oC - no heat stone; Do not place in or on the stove: Alabaster sweats crystal water at high temperatures & goes into the unextinguished state (hydraulic gypsum).
