BEAUTY: Sculpture--Nichola Theakston

English artist Nichola Theakston creates arresting portraits of animals in clay that are then cast in bronze with marvelous patinas. The sense of the sculptures is that they are artifacts from ancient civilizations (namely Egypt, as she names some of them after Egyptian animal gods like Bastet and Sekhmet), and are mounted as such, on iron displays. And Theakston manages to imbue her figures with the same mythical, revered, god-like qualities the Egyptians imbued on these animals.
