DescriptionThis bust depicts fellow sculptor Barry Flanagan. Zamit usually works in clay, and then casts the sculptures in bronze. She has said, “The beauty of the human form is a constant inspiration - I find the expressive, malleable properties of terracotta make it the perfect medium ... There is something immensely satisfying, addictive and ancient in taking a lump of clay and 'breathing life' into it.” Suzie Zamit studied Fine Art Sculpture at City & Guilds of London Art School. She has been a member of the Society of Portrait Sculptors since 1999, and a council member since 2007. She exhibits at their annual Cork St, W1 show each May, and in 2010, at their critically acclaimed exhibition in Winchester Cathedral - 'In a Sacred Place'.
