Landia Davies is a contemporary South African sculptress who produces clay sculptures which are then cast in bronze. Her sculptures are about the transformative power of vulnerability. They are invitations to be brave enough to take risks and be true to yourself. Landia’s sculptures celebrate naivety and playfulness in the midst of complexity and adversity. The sculptures encourage the viewer to forge an authentic individual identity in defiance of society’s tidy labels and categories. Her current body of work is about having the courage to embrace raw human emotions. Landia wants the viewer to question the norm and perhaps find that defining the form is not as important as feeling its state of being.
