Visored

This work loosely depicts a moment of contemplation or prayer.

“Compositionally I was driven by the tight intersecting forms layered upon one another. Perhaps these layered forms are a reference to armour, hence the name ‘visored’, which is alluding to face or eye shielding.” – Fen de Villiers

“Stone carving for me is the absolute essence of sculpture. You work directly in a material that was given to you by nature: raw and with its own free will, but at the same time pure and imbued with age-old vitality.” – Fen de Villiers

This work was featured in Fen de Villiers’ stone sculpture exhibition ‘Breakthrough’ in 2021.
