The Baroness - Kyria embodies a powerful, rebellious woman within a historical context. Drawing on my ancestral English and Greek Cypriot heritage this sculpture incorporates a blending of contrasting elements. The bodice has Cypriot lace given to me on my wedding day that has been imprinted into the porcelain. A contemporary version of an Elizabethan ruff is replaced with a flaming gold collar. Her headdress displays Delftware designs from the 17th century. The porcelain sculpture has been cold finished in oil paint.
