The Dancer
The Dancer is a dramatic, highly textural original sculpture with a wonderful sense of movement and presence. Created in mixed media over a welded steel frame and set into a substantial natural stone base, this piece feels both grounded and full of energy.
The figure’s extended limbs and poised form suggest balance, freedom and physical expression, while the rugged surface treatment gives the work a raw, earthy quality. At approximately 60cm tall and very heavy, The Dancer is a statement piece suited to a gallery space, entryway, studio, or a quiet corner where it can be viewed from different angles.
A beautiful piece for collectors who are drawn to figurative sculpture, movement, texture and handmade contemporary art.

A note from Roderick Glen, the creator:
First trying out yoga in a Balinese Resort at the ripe old age of 57, I found instant inspiration from our teacher who was far older and more flexible than all of us combined! I've held a long fascination with the human form, its fragility, it's movement, it's beauty and originality. A snapshot, teetering on the edge of stability but with purpose and gravitas.
