When The Soul Looks Back
Artist: Kirsty Coleman
When the Soul Looks Back by ceramic artist Kirsty Coleman is a deeply expressive figurative sculpture that reflects on memory, vulnerability, and the human condition. The elongated neck, tilted head, and closed inward looking eyes create a sense of introspection, as though the figure is turned toward an inner landscape of thought and remembrance.
The ceramic surface is layered with marks, textures and tonal variations that resemble weathered fragments, suggesting experiences carried over time. A darker band grounds the form while the gold leaf introduces a striking symbolic element, a quiet gesture of value, healing or a memory emerging from the surface.
Coleman’s work often speaks through subtle posture and surface detail rather than overt gesture, allowing emotion to arise through stillness.
This sculpture brings narrative depth and contemplative presence to a space, appealing to collectors drawn to figurative work with emotional and symbolic resonance.
