PS the bottom one is called Sphinx….maybe references through the hair and posture of the arms is like wings, I don’t know, any ideas?

I know, they are great aren’t they! The sizes are actually life size!
Also good question about the satyr! What makes Fox’s sculptures interesting for me is she robs these typically mythological figures of their typical supernatural/royal decoration/qualities….in this case, the satyr is in a classic flute-playing pose, but with no flute, no horns, etc!!

her technique is amazing- i wonder how large this is- life size? doll size?
also, i wonder what makes this a satyr? arent satyrs half human, half goat? this is a fantastic piece of art

It’s crazy to see the process. It’s such an eerie thing to see the human representation fractured like that.
