Research notes for project planning
What the project record tells us
Specific 2019 version; no installed location or available edition inferred.
Light is a component of the sculpture
The studio identifies this life-size version of Expansion as a 2019 work in bronze and electricity, in an edition of six. Its illuminated openings make light part of the figure’s expression rather than simply a means of displaying it. Those details support a planning discussion about the specific version being considered, the surrounding brightness and the practical provision for electrical components. They do not establish a particular public installation or available cast. The first brief should identify the intended viewing conditions before treating lighting as a later accessory.

Big Art Partners planning prompt Specific heroic bronze version, 2005.
An enlarged pose needs its own spatial study
Balance (Heroic) is listed by Bradley’s studio as a 2005 bronze in an edition of eight. The page relates the pose to the artist’s earlier study of her own body using a mirror, connecting observation with an enlarged sculptural result. For planning, the precedent invites attention to the space around the gesture as well as the bronze itself. A site study can test how the figure’s extended movement reads from approaching paths and whether the surrounding composition supports that sense of balance.

Big Art Partners planning prompt Practice-level material and presentation range.
Choose the material and version together
Bradley’s biography describes a figurative practice that includes bronze, aluminum, resin and other media, with both grounded and suspended forms. That range matters when translating a visual preference into a practical brief: a pose or theme does not by itself specify an object’s construction, support or setting. A useful early discussion would identify the particular work and version, then connect its material and presentation method to the site. The biography supports breadth of practice while leaving project-specific technical requirements to separate confirmation.
