Description
Sidsel is a standing figure of a woman in terracotta, shaped with full curves, a rounded belly and both hands resting on it. Her face is kept to a few soft features and her short hair sweeps to one side, so the character comes from the whole silhouette rather than from fine detail. She is 25cm tall, 13cm long and 10cm wide, and at 0.833KG she has a pleasing solidity in the hand. The brown terracotta has a lightly pitted, matt surface with fine crackle lines, and she is shaped as fully from behind and from the side as from the front.
At 25cm tall she is sized for a shelf, a mantelpiece, a deep windowsill or a bedside table, where she holds her own without crowding the space around her. She works well alone on a desk or side table, and just as well grouped on a tray with a vase, a small dish or a few books, where the brown sits easily beside pale ceramics, wood and woven textures. Her calm pose and soft, rounded form celebrate the body as it is, which makes her a thoughtful gift for a birthday, a housewarming or a friend who loves figurative art. She suits a bedroom, a living room, a hallway console or a quiet reading corner.
She is made of 100% terracotta, a fired clay with a slightly porous body, and her matt finish has a dry, stony texture that catches the light across her curves. The maker gives no care instructions; a soft, dry cloth lifts dust from the textured surface without fuss. As a styling note, give her a little room: set her slightly off centre on a shelf, or beside a single tall stem in a vase, so the line of her shoulders and hips stands out clearly against a plain wall.
