I always prefer to leave interpretation open to the viewer but this piece conjures up images and emotions representing someone going through immense emotional or spiritual pain and anxiety. For this reason I have left his eyes hollow since they are traditionally the windows to the soul which he may or may not have at this point.During and particularly towards the end of 2018 and into early 2019 I went through a very challenging personal growth phase and this piece took on a far greater meaning for me as it came to symbolize in a very raw and organic way my own "Dark Night of the Soul" as did my follow up Angel "Redemption". It occurred to me that they had both been almost premonitions of a Spiritual upgrade that was still to happen and thereby really took on their full meaning and symbolism after the act of sculpting them.The feedback that I have had reinforces the idea that almost everyone has had periods in their life where they have been challenged to their limit and have felt utterly drained and devastated but have finally emerged stronger and better for the experience.

South Africa
Hi, I was born in Johannesburg in 1966 and grew up here. I moved to Durban at the age of 15 and and worked part time at the Dolphinarium and the Snake Park. After school I spent the next 20 years working in the wildlife industry on various game reserves and also did a couple of stints filming lions and hyenas in the Okavango Swamps and the Namib Desert. I have always dabbled in creative endeavours whether its drawing or photography but really only started sculpting in bronze in 2000. It's something that lay dormant since the age of 7 when I saw a bronze Native American which ignited the flame. I am totally self taught and have never received any formal tuition. This perhaps made my initial forays into sculpting a little clumsy but the more I sculpt, the more I evolve my techniques and ideas. My progression is very organic. My favorite subjects are the human form, African wildlife because I have spent so much time working with animals and Native American themed subjects as I have, since my earliest memories, had an acute affinity to them and their culture. Of late my creativity has exploded and I have pushed myself further and further, exploring a much looser and more organic style as I feel this adds far more character to the sculpture and engages the imagination much more deeply. It also represents my own spiritual transformation which is ever more expansive.
