This is a
3-dimensional model that is made out of Cor-ten steel. This is a simplistic
version of a woman’s head that was based on a charcoal drawing which did also
include a hat and veil, even though this was left out of the sculpture. The
head from the shoulders tilts slightly forward and at certain angles the neck
is barely visible, the simple outline of this piece is edgy, straight and
alert. There are 4 other versions of this piece, 2 of which Mrs Gabo still
owns. At first it reminded me of Cubism as it contained all the elements of
art: colour, line and shape. Cubism is a way of simplifying detail and can make
many pieces look abstract. I like the use of geometric shapes being placed
together to create something unique and simple, lacking over-use of detail.
