The fight between control and chaos is once again at the heart of Triggs’ interest in this finely wrought and balanced sculpture. The figure is midway through a fall, rooted to earth by such a small section of a tipped boot that she floats, almost supernaturally. Knees bent, arms flung back, head tilted, hair flung out, facial expression somewhere between ecstasy, acceptance and fear. To whom, or to what, does the figure surrender? The tilt of the chin upwards and the placid, yet uneasy, face lead us to intuit a higher power at work here. Everything about the figure’s posture suggests acceptance, rather than resistance, yet there is a sense that forces beyond her rational and physical control are overpowering the figure. The pirouette created by the slight overlapping of the feet’s tips root the work in uncertainty, while the smoothness and variability of the patina allow different plays of light which intensify the work’s central dynamism in a graceful, controlled fall. Is the figure surrendering life itself? Possibly. Yet something - some force - resists her total fall to earth and her entranced poise seems under a kind of control, even if this is not her own. Triggs in this thought-provoking work, has subtly used posture and poise to represent the ancient human battleground between chaos and order, fear and love.
