Lady of Avalon II
Hand-built ceramic · one of a kind
Avalon, the Isle of Apples, lies behind the mists of British legend: a place of healing, where nine sisters rule and the wounded Arthur was carried after his last battle. In this artistic interpretation, the Lady of Avalon is its keeper, the guardian of the threshold between the worlds.
Lady of Avalon II stands 225 centimetres tall with her antlers.
According to the artist, Lady of Avalon II is hand-built from clay in three parts and fired three times.
