Wendy George, Waiting Women V, Bronze, Signed Edition 5 of 7, 105cm high by 102cm wide by 62cm deep

Waiting Women V by Wendy George stands at 105 centimetres high and occupies 102 by 62 centimetres, presenting a life size bronze resin figure that exudes quiet presence. The sculpture depicts a seated woman in a simple, relaxed pose, yet her posture conveys far more than stillness. She leans slightly forward, hands resting lightly, head tilted as though poised between thought and expectation. George captures this moment not as a static form, but as an experience, the feeling of waiting, of anticipation, made tangible.

George draws inspiration from life and life drawing, translating observation into emotion. She avoids intricate detail, relying instead on the universal language of body movement and gesture. The result is a figure both specific and timeless,  one can imagine her in a modern café, an ancient courtyard, or a future setting, yet her essence remains recognizable. The simplicity of pose highlights inner strength beneath the outwardly passive demeanour, allowing viewers to sense resilience and contemplation.

The bronze resin surface, coloured and textured to echo the earthy quality of plaster, reinforces her grounded, human presence. Shadows and highlights dance across her curves, emphasizing form while evoking the weight and solidity of her being. Around her, subtle gestures, slight tilt of the shoulder, bend of the knee, invite the eye to move across the sculpture, tracing narrative in quiet moments.

Ultimately, Waiting Women V celebrates the shared, empathetic experience of womanhood. Through careful modelling, restrained detail, and thoughtful composition, George transforms a seated figure into a vessel of emotion, connecting past, present, and imagined future in one powerful, contemplative moment.
