Portrait of Madame Blavatsky
Found Metal & Spiderweb
410 x 510 x 410 mm
A found object, made of steel has facetted panels, created by bends and twists, worn and shaped, the form alludes to a constructivist or cubist bust. The weather-beaten surface, rusted patina and the cobwebbed veil conjure up a Portrait of Madame Blavatsky. H.P Blavatsky (1831-1891) was the cofounder of the Theosophical Society in England, and a world-famous figure in the occult and esoterica.
