Artwork Description

Two Sisters

0.0 x 0.0 cm

This work of two skulls, hand-built of natural dark clay, confounds expectations both because of the title: Two Sisters and because of the colour of the skulls. We don’t ever see people’s skulls and certainly don’t identify them by their skulls. We couldn’t say whether or not there is a family resemblance here. Also, these skulls are dark brown, but even black people, with very dark skin, have white skulls. The sculpture is life-size and depicts the 2 dark brown skulls side-by side, facing the same way.
