Magdalena I

Bronze sculpture
33cm tall
Edition of 25
–

Magdalena is an elegant bronze sculpture of the female figure by Nando Kallweit.
Tall and elongated, with throws hanging from outstretched arms.

Modelled on modern youthful postures but with a nod to the importance of heritage through the stylised Egyptian-influenced head.
Nando carves the marque for the body from a piece of oak using a small chain saw.  The marque is then used to make the cavity for a sand and clay caste bronze.  The figure therefore retains the cut marks and wood grain of the original carving and give it a very organic feel.
Magdalena is produced in a small edition of 25 pieces. Nando hammers his mark into the base as well as stamping the edition number.
