Lucia Wilcox’s sculpture from 1968–70 is among the more complex of her late biomorphic works, bringing together several rounded and elongated forms into a single interdependent structure. Rather than presenting one dominant shape, Wilcox builds the sculpture through accumulation. Spherical volumes press against softer, irregular masses, while a larger circular form at the upper left introduces a sense of imbalance that is carefully stabilized by the broader base below.

The sculpture retains the organic ambiguity that defines much of Wilcox’s work from this period. Its forms can suggest the human body, stones, seeds, or cellular structures, yet none resolves into a specific image. This tension between recognition and abstraction gives the work much of its vitality. The matte white surface unifies the separate elements and allows light to move gently across their contours, emphasizing volume rather than surface decoration.

Created between 1968 and 1970, the work demonstrates Wilcox’s interest in sculpture as a process of assembling and balancing living forms. The composition feels simultaneously playful and monumental: its rounded elements seem to lean, support, and grow from one another. Through these simple volumes, Wilcox creates a compact but animated structure that transforms biomorphic abstraction into something intimate, physical, and quietly expressive
