Terracotta, 21 x 13 x 10cm
Temsüyanger Longkumer is a multimedia artist whose artistic practice spans video, sculpture, site-specific installation, printmaking and painting. Profoundly influenced by his upbringing in Nagaland, Northeast India, his work explores - in his words - ‘the socio-cultural traditions in ethnic societies, and the correlation between communities in the microbial world and our own.’
This is one of a group of new terracotta sculptures which have been made for our March 2014 exhibition ‘Drop Shadows’ held at Sims Reed Gallery. Pairs of feet are a recurring motif in this group, symbolising travel and a sense of place. This work has been hand-painted green in contrast with the protective terracotta spikes which emerge from it. The artist describes his ‘Travelling Forest’ series as ‘taking inspiration from migratory plants that employ intricate strategies, serving both as prey and predator to ensure survival during their journeys.’
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
