Africa Dreaming 2023: Cecilia Wilmott Ballam

Cecilia Wilmot Ballam, a visionary sculptor, crafts her dreams into massive sculptures. Her favored medium, clay, lends tactility to her emotionally charged creations, which later find permanence in timeless bronze. Each sculpture, a month in the making, is a labor of love and late-night inspiration. Nature, especially water's fluidity, inspires her to infuse her work with grace despite its heavy materials.
