Each piece is cast in bronze using the traditional lost wax method, preserving the care and character embedded in her original sculpting process.
Melissa Young has been sculpting since 1993, working primarily in bronze to create delicate, figurative pieces that explore balance, form, and the nuances of everyday life. Her playful approach to figures and objects reflects a keen sense of spatial awareness, something she humorously notes as being evident even when packing the family car. “I think I’ve always had a knack for spatial awareness. I’m the one who packs the luggage when we go away, maximising the space available in the boot.”
Much of Melissa’s inspiration comes from her family. Since becoming a parent, themes of parenthood, domestic life, and the pursuit of work–life balance have provided her with rich material. Her sculptures often serve as quiet social commentaries; intimate reflections of her lived experience.
Creativity, for Melissa, is both an expressive outlet and a grounding force, “A lot of my work is a social commentary on my life.”
