The Will to Proceed to the End of the Possible

Kneebone, Rachel

We’re working on releasing this image.
×

Sculpture, soft-paste porcelain with clear glaze, comprises a heavily cracked monumental rectangular plinth surmounted by a writhing mass of modelled and collaged organic forms that are both identifiable (human limbs) and ambiguous fragments that resemble folded pieces of skin, flowers and tendrils, bones and sinews, and other natural forms; covered over much of the surface with a clear glaze, with unglazed surfaces also apparent.
