About the Item

Helicoil is a fired clay constructed sculpture by Patricia Volk, dimensions are 48 × 65 × 45 cm (18.9 × 25.5 × 17.7 in). It is a unique signed piece and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Patricia Volk’s abstract sculptures emerge from a distinctive interplay between form and colour. Her creative process begins with clay, her preferred material, which she cuts and shapes in pursuit of the perfect line—a line that is at once simple and dynamic. The individual pieces are then fired and assembled to form the final sculpture. As Volk explains: “There is no pre-thought at all, it either works or it does not. There is such simplicity in a good line that it is completely underestimated, because it is so incredibly difficult […] but so aesthetically pleasing.” Influenced by the American tradition of painted fired clay, Patricia applies acrylic paint to her sculptures, selecting colour combinations intuitively yet with careful consideration. The bold, vibrant hues highlight the sculpture’s contours and enhance the tension between strength and fragility, stability and precariousness, heaviness and lightness. Through these contrasts, her works can evoke a range of impressions for the viewer—tranquillity, conflict, or the sensation of movement. Patricia Volk is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors (FRSS), a historic British organisation dedicated to promoting excellence in sculpture, and an Academician of the Royal West of England Academy (RWA). Her work was recently featured in the book 50 Women Sculptors, alongside renowned artists such as Camille Claudel, Barbara Hepworth, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Louise Bourgeois.
