Richard Deacon

Mother’s Milk

Richard Deacon's *Mother's Milk* is a characteristically fluid and organic sculptural work that demonstrates the artist's mastery of curving, interlocking forms. The piece evokes themes of nourishment, connection, and the human body through its sinuous, flowing lines that suggest intimacy and primal sustenance. Deacon's signature approach to material and fabrication transforms abstract shapes into a poetic meditation on origin and belonging.
