THe Talisman
A Masterwork of Form, Consciousness and Ecological Preservation
The concept-
“The mystery of the mermaid continues.”
This masterful sculpture was entirely hand sculpted in wax and cast in bronze, then meticulously filed and polished until the radiance of the bronze shone. In time and with wear, a natural patina will form, aging this piece gracefully.
Physical Specifications -
Medium: Cast Bronze
Dimensions: Approximately 1 inch high and .5 inch wide
Weight: Approximately 10 grams.
NEM Artifact 002: NANMUR bronze sculpture
I made this sculpture through a lost wax method as seen in the featured photo’s. It took me many hours of scrupulous and tedious work to gently form the soft wax. I wanted it to resemble the charm of Hamilton Bermuda, and the mystery therein.
‘I am compelled by my bloodline' is the slogan which encompasses this new work of mine being unveiled in 2026.
NEM -coactus-erimus-uniti- is the title of this new body of work.
This talisman holds significant value to me as an icon of the divine feminine. Its form is reminiscent of legends and myth lost in the history of the past, yet reclaimed through symbolism and intuitive understanding.
I hope it brings you joy and sparks curiosity.
Sincerely,
Alicia Wanklyn
