Flower Child

By James Copper 2021

The sculpture is carved from a piece of cast concrete. It depicts the birth of a child/ man from the sea, in line with the birth of Venus. The child's arms also become the stamen of a flower, the parent's hands become the petals, whilst the waves of the sea become the leaves.
