L’Abandon

Oblivious to the world, but awake within herself, L’Abandon is just beginning to rise after a carefree rest where she has completely given into her body and surroundings.

I sculpted this figure from two separate pieces “in the round,” which means I sculpted her entirely, including the parts that are not seen.In the end, I decided against a base and used a terrace instead — a complex drapery from which the figure can completely detach.
