Handcoloured portrait of a weeping martyr, immobilised in marble, carved into a traditional bust. The phenomena of statues weeping by supernatural means has called to Catholic pilgrims for hundreds of years; Instead, here the artist wishes to reflect on the gut-wrenching empathy for such pained figures that primarily drew her to explore this series of work.
Taken from The Sialia Marbles, a series of portraits containing ephemeral human sculptures taken between 2016-19. Together these works act as tales contained in a fictional sculpture hall, in direct reaction to Andre Malraux's 1947 Le Musee Imaginaire (Museum Without Walls).
