An Executioner of Riwa

Victoria Rance

From the 'sculpture to wear' series this was made in response to an image of an executioner in a Victoria anthropological book. In that image the man wore steel armour with spikes on to protect himself and scare his victims. My sculpture is made of scrim and plaster coated with terracotta.
