Bronze sculptures by
Vanessa Pooley

Balance, bronze sculpture by Vanessa Pooley


My bronze sculptures...
My sculpture has grown out of my fascination with the female form with its beautiful curves and flowing lines.

   
*** NEW ***
I've always loved the shape of the female body...
Ever since I was small I've wanted to work from the female figure. As a child I remember playing with handfuls of clay found on the beaches in Suffolk and the satisfaction I had from moulding the soft sticky lumps into shape.

I still use clay to create my sculptures because the responsiveness of the material allows me to play with the forms until they feel right. I know a sculpture is finished when it suddenly becomes a presence in the world. Now, here I am, specialising in figurative bronze sculptures and still enjoying playing with the shapes, again and again.

People say my sculptures make them happy...
My bronze sculptures tend to be in series. The Mother and Child series celebrates one of the most wonderful experiences of life - having children. More recently I have started the Dancer series, sculptures which explore movement inspired by the ballet The Nutcracker.

‘Mother and Child’… is a world apart, a fullstop: a portrayal of intimacy so strong that you catch your breath. - Telegraph Magazine

My latest group of work is about hugging or snuggling up - but the figures are without arms. Exploring the bond between two figures that do not need to hold on to each other...
