"The Winter's Bride "

17", one of a kind, antique netting and lace, prosculpt clay, mohair, abalone shells

I was inspired by the juxtaposition of innocence expressed by a white wedding gown and the experience of vampire being.

Her body movement and expression suggest that she has been caught in a moment.....is she fleeing the scene? Is she escaping her destiny? Has she taken her lover with her into eternity?
She has stopped...for a moment....to look back.....She is puzzled....worried...has she been caught?

This is a one of a kind piece, hand sculpted in Prosculpt clay. Her costume is created with antique wedding veils, antique wax flowers and exquisite antique metallic laces.

What energy do these pieces of old fabric hold? What stories could they tell? Secrets imprisoned within the fabric folds.

The base on which she stands, is created with abalone shards mounted upon an antique metal filigree base.
