Label TextKiki Smith is known for sculptures which present the human form in an elemental manner, with a focus on the female body. In this work, the textured patina that covers the bronze mirrors the bandages that cover the girl and seem to be incorporated into her skin. The bent posture of the girl and the work’s small size add the sculpture’s tone of vulnerability.
