Works
'The Seer's Well', 1994/5
"Belle Shafir works in natural materials. The works combine sculpture with painting; the human figure is suggested in minimalist outline. The impression is of new life breathed into inanimate matter. Shafir intervenes in the natural material, lays bare parts of it with a carving chisel, chars it with fire, until the forms become full of expression. The works communicate a mood of vulnerability and loneliness."
1994-1995
