Description

This work depicts a 12-year-old dancing girl.

The sculpture was fabricated out of polyester resin, laminated with fibre glass and strengthened with mild steel or aluminium square bar. The outer shell was then filled with epoxy grout and rigidifying foam. The whole work is coated with bronze particles, giving to give the impression that it is a solid bronze cast.
