"Ophelia's Swan Song"

This cast was created from a real human form, which only enhances the haunting aura of this piece. Ophelia metamorphisized from found materials such as vintage fabric, antique beads and crystals, handmade clay music notes, feathers, and embellishments. The feathers and dripping beads were created with a frame work of guitar strings. A tiny glass swan sits nestled in amongst seed beeds and jewels. Her cloak is made of the same plaster as the form and it is accented with pieces of vintage handkerchiefs and handmade clay roses. The textured dripping lower half is a sharp contrast to her high gloss body. The backside of Ophelia is finished in a high gloss red. This sculpture sings a tune of the mysterious and slightly macabre.
