​£80

Portrait bust sculpture of Aprodite. Available in a variety of patinas from cotswold stone, verdigris and faux-bronze 
I was facinated by greek sculpture,  for 300 years from 400 -100 bc the sculptures have a recognisable perfection, regardless of which part of greece and which god or individual they are depicting.  I studied the formula with they were working and created this piece.  It is not a copy of a greek sculpture but an expression of what I had learnt about the greek ideal of beauty.  The straight forhead and nose, the eyes set back,  the full lips and round chin.  I developed a great respect for the ancient greek sculptors through this work. incidentally the hair took me 3 times as long to sculpt as the rest of the sculpture.
