Salty Pears by Jilly Gray

Salty Pears was made for the Swell Sculpture Festival 2013. It was Jillys first sculpture since leaving Art School in 1999. ‘The concept came from a drawing late one night of two pears that I added a bikini top to. This soon turned into prints and bags, and later t-shirts. Salty Pears the Painting was painted in 2012 with the background painted with a list of beach names that were all of significance to me. From the first drawing I knew it had to become a sculpture.’
