Sculpted Plaster Relief, Acrylic, on Cradled Wood Board, Solid Oak Frame, Artwork and Frame Sealed in Archival Natural Non-Toxic Varnish 545mm x 790mm framed
‘Far beyond the constant physical fatigue, or the emotional and mental toll. Far beyond the daily fight and suffering that becomes crushing. Far beyond the part of you that leeches out a little more, like the improperly fitted plug, is the fatigue of the soul’
‘Fatigue of The Soul’ is part of the Pathos Collection, which is Cheryl’s most personal, intimate series to date. Created during a time when she when was undergoing a prolonged recovery from extensive illness, Cheryl was met with many and in some cases unfamiliar feelings. These intense emotions coupled with her creativity, which was neglected during her convalescence and had grown restless and powerful. They formed a force with so much intent, Cheryl had to allow them to take form through her medium of plaster, paint and pigment.
The Pathos Collection is the winner of both the London Invitational Art Contest and the Cass Art Award for ‘Fatigue of the Soul’ and ‘Sublimate’. With the judges drawn to the depth of emotion, they felt from the pieces, and the striking contrasts of the abstractions of self, standing boldly against the bare wood.
