The Bronze Maggie Figurehead is a life-size representation of Margaret Thatcher as a ship's figurehead leaning forward at about 30° on the representative hull of a ship. The whole work measures 90 cm high and approximately 40 at the widest point. The base measures 56cm long by 30 cm wide, and the whole weighs about 65kg. The work shown here is number one of a limited edition of 9 only, and is signed "Phil Alcock. Edition 1/9" and bears the nameplate "Maggie" on each side of the hull.. Each edition is unique, hand-crafted, beautifully cast, with intricate detail, and of fine quality. It is a 'lost wax' bronze sculpture cast in the traditional manner from an original work created in plaster by Phil Alcock. The lengthy casting process - mould-making, wax casting, bronze production, patination and waxing - is highly skilled and complex and was carried out by a leading specialist art foundry with many years' experience of working with several famous artists. Ships' figureheads often took the form of mythological ferocious beasts or sea nymphs, revered by the ship's crew as tokens of good luck and protection. The impact of Margaret Thatcher's time as Prime Minister still means many things to many people.

See Phil's works at www.philalcock.com. Phil's ideas for art stem from media reports of social or political issues, and generally deal with the interplay between truth and fiction. His work addresses the representation of politics, that is, how the artist can best depict the issues that concern him, and the politics of representation, how issues are depicted in the media. He selects the approach to a work, 2D, 3D, 4D or XD, after exploring which best suits the particular subject.
