Curatorial notes

Strength and delicacy held in balance.

Holding Beauty explores the importance of strength and firmness alongside delicacy and beauty. These qualities coexist and support one another to create a harmonious balance.

The collection consists of a main base — the hand — and a series of interchangeable figures that can be placed upon it. Each additional figure has its own supporting base, so the presence of the work can be changed and adapted to different settings or compositions.

Holding Beauty was first presented at the Tom Bass Studio in Sydney in October 2015. In Madrid it was shown at Casa Decor 2016, where several variations of the collection featured in different interior design spaces.

Created to bring large-format sculpture by an artist to more people, the collection invites a living, changeable relationship with the work.
