Item Description
"Just Getting Comfortable"8.75" X 13.75" X 7.25" Indiana limestone sculpture
This is a delightfully whimsical piece, expressing a dynamic play between the stable adult tiger and its wriggling cub trying to get comfortable. The protective parent embraces the trusting child. The tiger's stripes were created by using an alternating technique of first, highly polishing the stone to darken it, and then slightly abrading the negative space around the stripes to create the contrast.
“In all my work - whether in stone, wood, bronze, mixed media, or paint - I am narrating a “story” - stories of deeper values of consciousness - magical, sacred aspects of inner life. I refer to ‘sacred art’ as artwork that enlivens subtle, more uplifting values in the awareness of the viewer.”
In Elaine’s work, the elements or the ‘characters’ display a whimsical quality, a playful or evocative relationship. This invites the viewer to enter into the joy of the forms of the sculpture or painting and participate in the unfolding of the ‘narrative’.
Elaine has always worked as an artist, starting her first major sculpture commission at age 17 on Long Island, NY (a 3-ton limestone sculpture of St Anthony), thereafter producing individual and commissioned pieces in a wide range of materials.
Her work is in private and public art collections in North America: Columbia Museum, Columbia, Georgia; The Grange Gallery, Children’s Museum, Toronto Canada.; Wilson Art Center, Rochester, New York. She also has work in Europe, Israel and South Africa. She has illustrated children’s books published by Rizzoli, Aladdin Books, Thomas Y. Crowell and Stemmer House Publishers among others.
In 1999 she moved to Deep Gap, North Carolina, to live and work in the quiet, natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. www.chipandscribble.com
