“I was inspired by the symbolic nature of the humble pinecone. Revered across many cultures, it has appeared alongside Hindu deities, Mexican and Roman gods, and even on Egyptian staffs. The pinecone has long been associated with enlightenment, resurrection, eternal life and regeneration. As the evolutionary precursor to the flower, it opens in a Fibonacci spiral (the Golden Ratio) a pattern found throughout nature, from leaves and flowers to the spirals of galaxies, symbolising harmony, growth and balance.
In this sculpture, I embedded pinecones within a female bust as she awakens and lifts her gaze to the sky. Is she experiencing enlightenment, transformation, regeneration or something more personal? The moment of awakening is left for the viewer to interpret.” – Brendon Murless
