Description
ABBESSE is a one-of-a-kind textile sculpture that brings together delicacy, imagination and a carefully curated selection of historic materials. Its striking turquoise eyes and slender silhouette give life to a dreamlike character inspired by the world of fairy tales and memory.
The piece is crafted from hand-dyed antique lace, while its long ears are made from 19th-century French printed cotton, adding both visual richness and historical depth to the composition. The dress, the finely detailed collar and the aged finish create a work full of texture, subtle nuances and personality.
A unique piece, ABBESSE is mounted on a wooden base and created using artisanal staining and ageing techniques, ensuring that every detail is entirely one of a kind. Rather than seeking realism, the sculpture conveys emotion and sensitivity through Suzanne McRae’s deeply personal artistic language, in which antique textiles are given a new life as sculptural forms.
With its strong sculptural presence and exceptional craftsmanship, ABBESSE is an ideal piece for collectors and lovers of contemporary art, bringing a poetic, sophisticated and distinctive touch to any interior.
