Sculpture

The Human

Form:

Emotion, Movement and

Narritive

The human body is endlessly expressive. A tilted head speaks of contemplation. Hunched shoulders carry despair. Raised arms celebrate triumph or reach for transcendence. My figurative sculptures explore these moments, the gestures and postures that reveal our inner lives. I'm drawn to extremes of emotion and experience. Figures in anguish, their bodies contracted in pain. Figures in ecstasy, reaching upward. Moments of quiet contemplation, weighted with thought. The classical form of draped figures, timeless and serene. And raw, vulnerable bodies stripped of pretense, honest in their humanity. The finishing process is crucial to these pieces. Bronze applications create surfaces that feel ancient and valuable. But I also work with colored waxes and specialized patinas, warm oranges and ambers that glow with internal fire, deep browns and blacks that suggest shadow and mystery, brilliant verdigris greens that evoke antiquity. Each figure is a study in contrast: strength and vulnerability, permanence and fragility, the universal and the deeply personal
