Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking bronze sculpture depicts a disembodied hand with an arresting, organic quality. The muted green patina creates a weathered, aged appearance, lending a sense of history to the piece. The sculptural form is marked by expressive, abstracted details, with the fingers curving and contorting in a dynamic, almost life-like manner. The work showcases the artist's mastery of metalsmithing and their ability to imbue the inanimate with a palpable energy. This sculptural hand, presented in isolation, invites the viewer to contemplate themes of mortality, the human condition, and the fragility of the physical form. ...

Artist
Francis Upritchard
B.1976, New Zealand

Francis Upritchard was born in 1976 in New Plymouth, New Zealand and lives and works in London and New Zealand. Upritchard’s work draws on figurative sculpture, blending references from literature to ancient sculptures, and burial grounds to science fiction. Her installations showcase a wide variety of materials; her distinctive figurative sculptures are made using polymer plastic, amorphous mythological figures in balata - a natural rubber, bronze dinosaurs, glass vessels and ceramic urns. ‘Upritchard questions how we construct a vision for the future through our fractured, partial and often conflicted understanding of the past. She creates a place where histories and archives can be viewed anew through playfully exploring aspects of partiality, misreading and uncanny coincidences. Upritchard’s mini worlds are anti-imperial and non-hierarchical - there is no dominant culture.’ Heather Galbraith. ...
