“Audience or Anthropologist? – Observing the Domestic,” – mixed media tableaux inspired by the questions ‘How do Humans Behave’ and ‘Why not Celebrate the Domestic?’
Teresa Wells MRSS creates emotive figurative sculptures in bronze, that celebrate man's physical and emotional survival over adversity. Inspired by the question How Do Humans Behave, she draws inspiration from the contours of athletes and dancers to emphasise a physical strength, placing them in precarious poses to stress fragility. She employs an illustrative style that pertains to theatrical gesturing, with a particular attention made in re-creating detail in the face, hands and feet. This creates a powerful and spiritual force, producing reflection on one's own psyche. When combined with geometric architectural supports, in steel and stone, she shows a contemporary approach to bronze, lifting it off the plinth and making it appear less monumental and traditional. Teresa is a multi award winning member of The Royal Society of Sculptors, and is available for public and private commissions, interiors, landscapes and garden.
