About two weeks ago, I took a walk in the Scottsdale Arts district and wandered into a few galleries. That's were I found the work of Estella Fransbergen. She works in clay to make torso shapes that mimic the female form. She then uses natures elements to create unique sculptures like this one that looks like a ballerina's tutu.
These two look like ball gowns. She uses things like feathers, branches, gemstones and rare stones to enhance the torso form and turn each one into something new and surprising.
Estella was born and raised in South African, studied art in the Netherlands and is now living in the heartland of the United States.
These are such interesting sculptures unlike anything I had seen before. I love discovering new things.
Discovering new things, especially art is a love of mine too. These are amazing pieces. Great discovery.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the hours spent in the fine details.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely delicate pieces, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. How is that first piece displayed? It looks like it's levitating!
ReplyDeleteIt was hanging from the ceiling
DeleteYou really can't see any wires or filaments. I guess that's down to your expert focusing! :)
