24A. Towards the Light

Artwork number: 24A
Artist: Fran Koenig
Description: Clay, copper and wood installation.
Artist statement: Inspired by the Flanders poppies growing in my garden, this installation explores the resilience and quiet determination of nature. Working with clay, copper and wood, I have sought to capture the movement of each stem as it reaches towards the sun, each one growing and scrambling for light. Through these materials, I celebrate the strength, fragility and individuality of the natural world - each one perfect but none exactly the same.
