Draped Figure by Bobbie Fennick

The Sculpture Park are delighted with their new, haunting addition to the outdoor sculpture trail - Draped Figure by Bobbie Fennick.

This Portland stone carving stands at 165 cm tall and gives the illusion of fabric, draped over a solitary figure. The flow of the material skims the body beneath, creating a mysterious yet elegant and lifelike sculpture.

The piece proved popular on social media...

On Facebook, it received many likes and comments including:

"Ooo that is beautiful   Though I find the side and back views kinda melancholic, but any view that shows the “face” area kinda creepy. But I do love it." - Sarah-Jane Hall

"What a stunning piece!" - Sarah Smith

and

"Haunting but it makes me instantly feel so saddened" - Donna Gibling

On Instagram, the last count was 459 likes and it attracted comments like:

"That's so clever, I really thought it might have been unveiled at the last photo ?" - @earthbornandwild

"Ooooh I like this- simple but impactful" - @jacqui_marie_dabell

and

"Really exceptional carving talent ???" - @humphrey_lahtiart

The talented artist and creator of this exceptional piece, Bobbie Fennick, has had an affiliation with stone carving ever since she was gifted a lump of limestone…

In her own words:

‘I knew I had found a focus for my work that would grow and engage me for the rest of my life.

I felt I had come full-circle via a relationship with a material that promises endless possibilities, enriched by my long-standing fascination with geology and architectural form. Enrolling in a course in Stonemasonry and, later, Historical Stone Carving further provided me with a fascination for architectural history and the experiments and achievements of stonemasons and carvers through the ages. I felt intimately linked to the evolution of the material in all it's aspects of physical and human history.’
