Dorothea Magonet

Bella Donna

Working also as an Alexander teacher, I am drawn as a culptor to the theme of our-selves, the landscape of our physicality. I try to find expression of our fragility, tenderness and resilience through carving stone and wood. More surreal combinations of materials with opposing qualities may convey pain, vulnerability and hope.

This figurative work is an earlier work and an attempt to carve a femal body as a woman, trying to understand the male gaze. Hence the  diaphonous vail around her lower body.
