Laurence Edwards ‘The Long Wait’
Laurence Edwards returns to Lowesoft’s South Beach, with ‘The Long Wait’ a sculpture that sits somewhere between the human and the mythic — a figure caught in a moment of stillness that feels both heavy and unresolved.
About
Cast in bronze, Edwards’ work carries the raw, tactile energy of his process, where surfaces are marked, layered and alive with traces of making. His sculptures often blur the boundaries between man and nature, embedding organic textures and materials into the form itself, so that the figure feels as though it is emerging from — or returning to — the landscape.
In The Long Wait, that physical presence is matched by an emotional weight. The figure, described as horned and almost otherworldly, appears suspended in a state of quiet endurance — not just alone, but profoundly lonely. There’s a sense of anticipation without resolution, as if time has stretched and thickened around it.
Like much of Edwards’ work, the sculpture speaks to themes of fragility, resilience and the human condition — figures that feel worn, altered, and shaped by forces beyond their control.
It’s a piece that invites you to pause. To stand with it.
To feel the tension between waiting and becoming.
