Ecstacy of Time No 7 by Ann Goodfellow (b. 1952), Stoneware with vitreous slip and ceramic ink, Unique, 82 cm high, 39 cm wide, Black, White
This piece is a compelling modern and abstract sculpture by Ann Goodfellow. It presents the torso and head of a woman, crafted in stoneware with a unique finish of vitreous slip and ceramic ink. The monochromatic palette of black and white enhances the work’s dramatic impact.
The surface treatment creates the illusion of melting wax, as if the figure is dissolving or emerging from time itself.
Goodfellow’s choice of materials emphasizes the tension between permanence and impermanence. While stoneware is a durable, enduring medium, the flowing paint suggests vulnerability and change. The abstracted figure is both familiar and mysterious, balancing between recognition and abstraction.
At 82 centimeters tall, the sculpture commands attention with its slender yet powerful presence. The elongated form and softened contours evoke a quiet intensity, capturing the complexity of human experience, our fragility alongside resilience.
Through Ecstasy of Time No 7, Goodfellow explores the intersection of time, memory, and identity. The piece encourages contemplation on how we shape ourselves and are shaped by the inevitable forces of change. It stands as a poetic meditation on the beauty found in both endurance and decay.
