Nina Simone “I Want a Little Sugar in my Bowl”

Sandstone Sculpture- “I Want a Little Sugar in my Bowl” Limited Edition of 25 Each client can choose any stone that suits their needs from a massive range- then my clay version Nina is sculpted by the only sculpting robot in the world. This is a completely unique and immersive experience. So. here we have a unique piece of art, made in clay to match my “Nina” pictorial piece. I wanted to capture the same flavour of the ancient African head bust sculptures with this Nina Simone study. Melding the two images gives this piece a sense of empathy with Nina’s love of Africa, where she fled for 10 years following years of fighting for civil rights that just exhausted her to the core. Her efforts are not lost on me though and I wanted to show my deepest respect by fashioning this piece in her honour. All she ever wanted was a little sugar in her bowl.. Respect.
