Listen to the Forest by Brendon Murless is a signed and numbered bronze resin sculpture from an edition of 40, measuring 80cm high, 53cm wide, and 45cm deep. The sculpture presents a large, expressive female face in exquisite detail. Her eyes are closed, and her expression conveys calmness and serenity. Delicate fern imprints decorate her skin, adding a natural, textured element that links her to the forest.

The artist emphasizes the face as the central focus. The features are smooth, refined, and lifelike. As the sculpture extends outward from the face, the detail softens. The sides, the top of the head, and the back of the neck gradually become rougher. The edges end in uneven, lumpy forms, giving the piece an organic and natural feel. Fern imprints continue along these outer areas, blending the figure into its surroundings.

The contrast between the polished face and the textured edges creates visual interest and balance. It draws the viewer’s attention to the face while still encouraging exploration of the surrounding textures. The work combines realism and abstraction, linking human form with elements of nature.

The sculpture stands firmly as a tribute to calmness, connection, and the quiet strength of the natural world. Light plays across the smooth and textured surfaces, enhancing the depth and visual richness.

Listen to the Forest invites contemplation. It captures both the serenity of a human face and the chaotic beauty of nature, merging them into one harmonious form.
