Sculpture is needed right now in a way that it’s been available since the stone age but largely has fallen into disuse. Somehow sculpture in the history of art since the middle ages became models of a paintings. A portrait of a female model translated itself essentially into a model of a painting. Especially as the “ism’s” walked past the last century — Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism, Futurism, etc. Sculpture to some degree translated each into a walk around model of the genre.
Abstract Expressionism after World War Two brought an object quality to sculpture packaged in philosophy which leaned on movements such as Oriental religion and theatrical allusions. I work to develop work which leans on the viewer both singly and in community to translate and develop my work.
