Lips 103 Small mouth by Jenna Fox, wood, Unique, 37cm high by 56cm wide by 4cm deep, Body, People sculpture

Lips 103 Small Mouth by Jenna Fox is a unique flat wooden sculpture, measuring 37 cm high, 56 cm wide, and 4 cm deep. The piece presents a bold, illustrative pair of red lips in a subtle, expressive pose. The lips are closed, gently biting the bottom lip, creating natural creases and folds that add depth and character. The front teeth remain partially visible, emphasizing the gesture and lending the sculpture a playful, intimate quality.

Fox exaggerates the form of the lips while keeping the expression recognizably human. The bright red paint highlights the lips’ curves, and the subtle detailing of creases enhances the tactile sense of the piece. The flat wooden surface allows the vibrant colour and graphic lines to stand out, creating a visually striking, modern effect. The slight tension in the biting gesture conveys personality and emotion, making the sculpture engaging despite its simplicity.

Through this work, Fox explores everyday expressions, transforming them into bold, stylized imagery. The small mouth becomes a focus of character and movement, emphasizing human nuance in a minimalist form. Each curve and line is deliberate, reinforcing the illustrative style and energetic quality of the sculpture.

Lips 103 Small Mouth combines whimsy, emotion, and clarity. Its clean lines, vibrant colour, and expressive detail make it both visually captivating and characterful.
