Female Gaze Sculpture

Handmade from stoneware, this contemporary sculpture embodies the curvaceous form of a woman with a giant abstract coiled eye that sits upon her neck. It has been turned on its side and within the centre floats a 24 karat gold sphere. The piece is about seeing from an alternative perspective, through the eyes of women.

Created by Miyelle at her studio in Hackney, London, this unique piece is part of her latest ceramic collection “Evolving Femininity” which explores, honours and challenges notions of womanhood. The pieces in the collection question how women are viewed in society and reflect biological themes such as the cyclical transformation of our menstrual cycle, aging and fertility. While also focussing on the emotional and lifestyle changes we navigate as our lives progress.

The piece is hand coiled from textured stoneware and the body is unglazed so you can admire the light cream colour of the clay. The sphere is glazed with a satin glaze and painted with 24 karat gold lustre with visible brush strokes. There is a softness and imperfection attributed to the handmade nature of the piece with visible textural markings from the clay and making process.
