…….the ruff and dark
coloured clay gives Monica Sandell the possibility to lift forward
different feelings. She sculptures from the block of clay, with
her hands and tools, portrait´s and human´s in full
size. The slightly ruff touch which emphasises the clay´s
power, gives a vivid surface. Her hands are pressing and sculpturing,
her fingers pinches and forms. Monica Sandell moulds life in the
small humanoid sculptures by means of letting her hand be a part
of the sculpturing expression.
The feeling isn’t lost even
when she casts her models in bronze. The first thing she seeks for
is the exact feelings, she catches the feeling and let the fingers
process and work the clay. The models, sometimes portrait like,
are captured in a relaxed pose. Sitting on a podium, standing in
a ring, or frozen in what appears to be a quiet fellowship. The
clean impression of the form expresses what Monica Sandell wishes
to describe – the different feelings of the human being.
