About Ovoid 4/9

The undulating gentle curves of this sculpture by artist Jana Osterman emulate organic egg-shaped forms found in nature. Created out of gypsum, polymer and bronze, the finish is patinated with acid, giving the piece a beautiful deep blue weathered finish. Layers of wax protect this sculpture so it can be handled easily. This is one in a series of nine and weighs 9lbs.

“The idea behind this was to create an intimate piece someone would pick up and touch, such as meditation beads or a touchstone.” Jana Osterman

For the last 20 years, Osterman has worked as a full-time artist and fabricator in Canada, first in Toronto and now in Prince Edward County, Ontario.
