Jane Austen Sculpture in Winchester Cathedral
rifleman, 1916
A First World War British Army Rifleman is the depiction of a model dressed in authentic Somme period uniform and Battle Order equipment. The informal pose contrasts with the formal nature of post WWI memorials. The figure attempts to communicate vulnerability, representing the moment of a soldier awaiting zero hour , …… and his destiny on the fateful attack of the 1st July, 1916.
uliana lopatkina
An ongoing project at the present time is a sculpture of the Ballerina Uliana Lopatkina. Through visits to St petersburgs Mariinsky theatre it has been possible to model the wax figure from Uliana at rehearsel. It is anticipated that the piece will be completed this Spring. Uliana has a deeply spiritual affinity with dance.
She has been called ‘Russias Soul’. Her style is classically pure. She is the greatest living Ballerina, and has made the role of Odette/Odile her own.
