HARAR WOMAN - Limited Edition of 25 (NEW) This was to be as they say a "heavy set" African woman. To achieve this I needed a model. What do you say to a woman who is "heavy set" when you would have her undress and display her over sized bulk? Do you say that you want her to model for you because she is beautiful? Or do you come right out and say you want her to model because she is "fat"! One glance at this piece will tell you plainly that I failed in my quest to sculpt a "big one." Maybe one day I will succeed in my quest to sculpt a big one. This then is the Harah woman sculpted from my imagination with the help of books on anatomy and my many African references. I hope you enjoy the artistic license. She is Nilotic and I mined the recesses of my mind to find the right mix. She is from a remote place in Ethiopia. Does she grind millet? Does she mind chickens? If she is like the Masai then it is no to above but only someone who has lived Africa as I have done can envisage such a scene. I take pleasure from the ramblings of a fertile mind that takes me from the plains and mountains of Montana and allows me to drift back to my Africa. Dimensions W: 13" H: 23.5" (33cm x 60cm) Weight 30lbs (13.6kg) Price Contact John for pricing information |
