A fine sculpture

This is a really beautiful sculpture by the Dutch artist Sema Bekirovic.
I am going to give a presentation on it in class on Monday. I think she is a really interesting artist. Her website discloses that her work encompases key elements of 'coincidence and the friction between nature and culture. An important theme in her work is the tension between obtaining and the letting go of control. She creates a situation for something to occur and lets coincidence decide how the work develops. Another often seen theme is "nature vs culture", wherein nature can be seen as the uncontrollable factor in our existence which we try to control by means of culture.'
I hope she exhibits in Ireland soon
If the presentation goes well I'll post it up!
