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
