SALLY GRANT 1973 Born in Aberdeen; 1993-1996 Visual Arts Degree, Cheltenham; 1996-1997 MA Degree in Arts Management, Cambridge; Collections: Austwick Hall Sculpture Trail 'During 10 years as a professional sculptor, Sally Grant has exhibited at prestigious galleries nationally including the Royal West of England Academy. The sculptures are expressionistic, semi abstract figures and heads, some quite small in scale, others large enough to be placed outside. Each piece starts with a clay maquette which is, after various stages of refinement, cast into bronze, marble or slate resin. It often takes months to finish a piece to Sally’s high standard. Emanating feelings such as joy, remembrance or longing, Sally’s sculpture captures a range of emotion. This quality allows the viewer to immediately empathise with the work. The tactile and sensual figures leave a lasting impression, each piece having a fluidity that gives harmony and elegance. ' Patricia Jennery |
