Thomas Houseago — Sitting Woman
Thomas Houseago

Sitting Woman

A monumental bronze figure of a seated woman rendered in Houseago's characteristically raw and expressive style, blending influences from primitivism, modernism, and ancient sculpture. The work captures a sense of quiet, contemplative stillness while maintaining a rough, tactile surface quality that speaks to the physical act of making. The figure's simplified yet powerfully emotive form reflects Houseago's ongoing exploration of the human body as a vessel for universal psychological and emotional states.
