This young giraffe woman with a proud bearing has adorned herself with necklaces and bracelets to come to meet us, one might think. The rings encircling her neck represent for me the social pressure that she transcends with her elegance.
Lady Georgiana Cavendish beautifully painted by Gainsborough said that men had left women only their toilets as a means of expression. A way for them to be noticed, admired.
The long neck of my giraffe, an African woman with a loincloth modeled with a stick evoking the bark of a tree (like an anchor to her land), definitely allows her to glimpse wider horizons!
Tobacco patina ranging from ocher to brown
Sophie Verger is a fairy who knows how to transform an emotion into an animal, a sensation, a felling in a recollected memory. She also suggests to us with a lot of humor a lovable identification with the animal model and beyond this observation the fact that in all her work, the child alone has its place with her, spontaneously capable of including the existence of the animal in her own fundamental values.
