Sculpting in the wake of a lost love
Sturgess’s collection of bronze and ceramic sculptures are reflective of her life with her late partner, the sculptor Barry Flanagan.
Sturgess was born in Budapest in 1939 and brought up in Spain from the age of seven. During her college years in Valencia she was involved with a puppet company, where she began to develop her skills in mould making. She spent her 20s in India where she kept her eye sharp by keeping a drawing journal.
