Overview
Portrait busts from the exhibition 'Couples', photography by Iona Wolff
Tutored and mentored by Eduardo Paolozzi and Jean Gibson, Farhi is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors and has exhibited at Gainsborough’s House and Beaux Arts London.
Farhi models her figures as a response to their identity and work, sculpting after her feelings towards the figure as much as their recognisable qualities.
