embracing the plateau (Sculpture By The Sea 2009)



Work by Daniel Clemmett.

Made of recycled steel, car bonnet undercarriages.

Artist's statement: "Offering a wry comment on ancient ideals in juxtaposition with the state of contemporary man, a major health problem in the developed world."

More about the artists here.

Here is his entry in last year's SxS.

  2. Talk about undercarriages!

    Don't quite follow this image and the sculptor's ideas. I can see the "ancient ideal" in the plump female form, but I would have thought it is the developed world that has a problem with obesity, not the undeveloped world.
