Soigne

soigne 2006-2012
White Marble
120 X 45 x 33cm
In polished white marble, Soigne is soft, elegant and more significantly, measured with movement. While a cascade of drapery often implies falling with some speed, Soigne’s liquid feeling defies gravity and moves with subtle gestures both up and down the form. This sensation imbues the work with a central unity that congregates and disperses energy. It is like a female form, but not quite; a model with a garment but also an abstract musical element. Anna’s attention to the unambiguous lines allows us to appreciate a lightness of beauty, an imagined symphony that has materialised before our eyes.
