Any bronze sculpture “bears a signature, date and hallmark. It is definitive. You could create a mould out of it, alter the wax and pour liquid bronze into this new form, except that it is not done.” Pierre Assouline writes in “Rosebud”. Lucy Skaer takes a different view. Her bronze “Fool’s ingots” which were to be melted as raw material for sculptures, are now partially wrought, but still solid. These pieces symbolize the potential uses contained in an emerging sculpture.
