Lampshade Ladies, Grape

A series of two mixed media sculptures with a glass lampshade base and natural clay figure. The more abstract of the two, Grape, was sculpted in January 2026 with glass, natural clay, metallic bronze paint (acrylic), seashells, trim, beads, makeup for color, and yarn. Holding a plate in her right hand, the left features a swell to mimic the shape of a grape as a long, thin arm feeds herself the fruit as she becomes it.
