Minoo Emami - Goli

Medium: Handmade tiles, cast brass, resin prosthetic

Dimensions (height, width, depth): 32x10x32 in

Sculpture Description: A full prostheses leg sculpture horizontally displayed on a two-piece bronze pedestal on each side. The sculpture is sitting on a white platform. The prosthesis surface is covered by hand-made Persian Blue tiles. Few bronze-cast Farsi words are glued between the mosaic tiles. The text is part of a poem that cherishes women's beauty and strength.

Techniques: For this piece, I have collected vintage hand-made Persian blue tiles decorated with motives and texts. I have used cement glue to cover the whole prosthesis surface with garigues small tiles. The mosaic reflecting surface sparkle in different areas.
