2013, Graphite wax. Life-size.
The obvious attraction towards, or wow-factor about, this piece is the fact it is a solid, stationary object yet it shows motion. The man (presumably) is made to look as if he has moved his head suddenly, and an image has been taken on a long exposure setting. His face is smudged across vertically, with a slight lump representing the mouth and a sharper line for the nose.
The black wax allows for light and dark tones to be created across the body as a light source is shone on it. This can be seen most vividly around the chest area where a large white area is shown.
