Charles Hadcock
Caesura IV
1995
Description
This bronze maquette was replicated closely in its monumental version, which was realised in cast iron, poured in an industrial foundry. Composed on a modular system of identical plates, made to the mathematical rules of the Golden Section, the proportions are based on the artist's body height. Caesura: a cut or pause in the form, is composed in two sections, both portions of a skin which if they were to continue through their prescribed arc, would join in a sphere, like parts of the skin of an orange.
