About Mista Fig

My artwork is mainly figurative, offering an interpretation of life’s characters, with a social comment.
Through the years I have enjoyed exploring a wide variety of materials, from clay to plaster, mosaicing, found objects, rapid prototyping and life-casting, plus carving centuries-old bog oak (fossilised wood).
Focusing on a theme, I may spend a few years completing every series.
Each sculpture is produced by hand, is individual and an edition of one.

About this sculpture

“Steady Eddie”, portrait of a young man.
Mixed media, part construction, part modelled, then decorated in ostrich eggshell, which I collected while living in the Karroo, SA. Then, adding layer upon layer of colour to give Eddie his special glow. I first created the work in clay, then I made a mould, taking one cast from this and then the mould was destroyed. I began to dress the artwork, until I felt I could do no more.
The awakening of this idea came from a meeting with a character who I felt I had to create. His presence was spellbinding and I needed to replicate this.

I have re-worked this sculpture many times over many years and now feel Eddie is ready to leave home, to find a new life.
