London based sculptor Jill Berelowitz announces the installation of Core Femme in Cavendish Square, as part of Westminster’s City of Sculpture festival. Rising approximately six metres tall, and expertly cast in bone-coloured resin, Core Femme (2011) represents a soaring spinal column. Twenty-four repeating female torsos take the place of curved vertebra, each individually attached to a stainless steel support. Core Femme poses a formal tension between the unity of the body’s central element, and the multiplicity of the figures contained within it. Sensuality of surface and form are essential to Berelowitz, who studied intensively under Karen Jaroszynska, a Finnish artist noted for her unusual insight into, and compassion for the human condition. For Berelowitz, it is her development of this “fluid, emotional, mythical style” into sculpture that allows the viewer to access positive emotion and meaning from her work.
