‘Police Corgi Figure’

£300.00

For this exhibition, Sue Cathcart made two figures, the ‘I mean no harm’ figure and the police corgi, both made from papier mache pulp which is modelled over a paper maquette. Sue used pages from the novel Wolfe Hall and also found and recycled material. The result is a very strong material akin to wood, which is then given a smooth layer of paper to even it out and add detail.

Both figures seemed to belong with each other, to Sue they sum up her feelings on the pandemic when we were all just muddling through under the eye of authority which was doing the same. This listing is for the ‘I mean no harm’ figure only.
