Belinda Ormond – Little Men
These little men began as an accompaniment to Belinda’s studio exhibition, some years back at a shop called The Fringe Arts on Kloof Street. They were the spectators of the exhibit, in silent contemplation.
Relaxed
As time went on their popularity as sculptures in their own right grew and they have been in conversations ever since, where body posture speaks for them.
Social. Company
The ‘Little Men’ are hand but out of black clay and are then fired, unglazed . They are approximately 14cm high and are best displayed as a collection in ‘conversation’ with each other.
Pensive
Belinda and Hamilton Gallery are currently having 10 different poses of these sculptures cast in bronze for a different, more permanent medium, and to raise them from craft to sculptural installations.
Thought provoking
They are equally appealing , though, in both clay and bronze.
