"Youngsters" sculptures by Caroline Rothwell in Sydneys' CBD

Caroline Rothwell’s two Youngsters in Barrack Street play on the monumentalism of bronze sculpture in urban spaces, as well as preconceptions about identity.
Youngsters stand within the trajectory of monumental bronze sculpture. The drapery, the shoes, and the contrapposto of one figure, are all influenced by art history from ancient classical sculpture to Rodin. Yet the forms, the baggy pants, hoodies, Dolce & Gabbana shoes, and handstand of the other figure, are contemporary.
The figures undermine expectations and subvert stereotypes. They represent small children dressed in hoodies and baggy jeans; one standing, the other hand-standing. They are purposefully diminutive; vulnerable, yet powerful.
Upon closer inspection, the standing child has plaited hair, further undermining social expectations. The interiors of the hoods and clothes are coated with casts of quartz and coal, making a subtle comment upon Australia’s mineral economy.
