Resurrection 2

By Gregory Hayman 2017
The two bronze figures emerging from the fabric of the porcelain signify the strength of potential to emerge from hardship. The figures are cast bronze and based on Stanley Spencer’s painting of the Resurrection at Cookham churchyard. The work suggests renewal and re-emergence, but for me is located in the changing seasons and that each year life springs from the hard winter ground to begin its cycle once again.
