For Cure3 we are honoured to be presenting Joffe’s first wax sculptural piece for sale, entitled Self Portrait (wax head). This work, akin to her paintings, is full of emotion and reveals the artist’s hand. Chantal says about the work: “I made this work in my studio just before lockdown began in March, and which now feels like a million years ago. While making the work I was thinking about Degas and his wax sculptures, and I only had myself to work from (as so often). I long to be able to work from a model or even a dancer. I like working with wax which is difficult and hard to move unlike clay which I always find too soft.”
