Height includes 80 x 90 granite base. If displayed outdoors the sculpture with base will be mounted on a 90cm high polished concrete plinth.
If a buyer would like to position the piece outdoors the sculptor can manufacture another concrete plinth which will cost around $800 – $1000. As with all my sculptures, this piece is very much about the material with which I am working.
This luminescent white Carrara Marble with its hints of where veins might lie influenced the fundamental form.
I constantly strive to creative a sense of movement, of dynamism.
With this sculpture I am inviting the viewer to ask; what is the figure expressing in her posture or movement?
To me she represents dynamism and the naked human desire to perform or compete.

Jonathan Foley
In 2022 I established my Manning Valley NSW studio following a 5 year period of sculpture practice in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
Prior to setting up these studios I studied for approximately 5 years at the The Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School, Sydney. During my student journey, I gained proficiency in most traditional sculptural mediums.
Since 2010 I have focussed my practice on marble carving and have participated in 5 intensive marble carving workshops with Carrara, Italy-based Master Carver; Alnassar.
