Wonderful naps

Wonderful naps
Sleeping with a little human on your belly, feeling their warmth and the sweet weight upon you, brings an intimate and fulfilling rest.
My three children slept upon our bellies—mine and my husband’s—falling into deep and blissful slumbers.
Our hearts and breaths danced together to the same rhythm, in perfect harmony, weaving dreams and fantasies.
So many beautiful naps we shared, and what a wonder it is to remember them.

Technical notes
The sculpture is hand-modeled with a pinkish-toned clay.
The girl’s skin remains in natural clay, while the colored parts are decorated only with engobes.
The little face is as small as a hazelnut. The curls are applied one by one and are made of delicate clay strips rolled on themselves.
The sculpture is hollow and has undergone a single firing at 980°.
