The Architect - Jilly Sutton

I’m particularly looking forward to this one.  I feel Jilly’s work has a kind of softness in it’s beauty which is rarely found in contemporary sculpture: she usually works in wood, and many of her subjects are faces – with soft, gentle features.  It takes a rare skill to bring out the natural lines of wood grain and combine it with the subject so successfully.
