Donation to Peace Gallery North Annual Art Auction

This is my most recently created goddess #10, which Surerus Pipeline generously donated on my behalf to the Peace Gallery North Annual Art Auction. She is very tall! Tallest lady I ever made, measuring approximatley 2 feet tall....and quite difficult as she is completley hollow-built porcelain. Vintage stamps and lace were used to create the impressions on her lovely dress. She was stained with a rustic brown stain to further exploit these textures. On her head is a perched peacock..."modesty versus vanity" was one of the themes I thought of... The peacock is glazed colourfully to contrast with her bareness.

Work that is not easy to pin-point, seems simple but really is not. The more you look, the more you see kinda thing. Here are some examples...
