Geometric Heads attributed to Suzanne Lupien or Ria Blaas (or the studios of Lupien or Blaas).
- One Unfired terracotta, height: ___
- Two Wax (head) with wooden spindle (body). 9 cm tall – 17.5 cm cir. Both ca. 1985 – 1990, c.e.
Left in the studio where Ms. Blaas worked for more than 15 years, this small effigy head may have some totemic value for the cleansing of space previously occupied by muffin-making. It has also been attributed to the sculpture students of Ms. Lupien. It may symbolize the spirit of an artist after vacating her work-space. Then again, it may have no particular significance. Artists often make things that have no significance.
Collection Main Street Museum, HOIA Hall, George Williston Smith Memorial
