SCULPTURE ::: Floating Heads by Sophie Cave

This unique work of art by Sophie Cave is displayed at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland.  The piece shows over 50 floating heads, each with different emotion across the face. This appealing display stands out so much in the traditional setting of the rest of the building. The heads are not particularly detailed – they are completely white – but the expressions they bear, which would otherwise be hidden, are highlighted with a faint blue light. The heads have a slightly eerie life-like quality. The expressions they display are some that we see on a daily basis in our society, ranging from laughter to sadness
