Acquired by: Sponsorship of the Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award

About the Artwork:

"Covered Person combines my ambition to create objects possessing an enigmatic and engaging physical presence with an interest in histories of repetitive labour and the compulsive patterning found in various art and design traditions.

"This work draws from medieval carvings representing chain mail armour and carries references to contemporary preoccupations with national and personal security, safety and insularity". - Robert Bridgewater

Materials: Wood
