About The Artwork

This sculpture is from the National Archaeological Museum in Athens Greece. It is Emperor Hadrian, combined with the sacred rock just adjacent the Parthenon in Athens Acropolis. The first two images were made using the golden ratio then the third image was that of a living person to complete the Metamorphosis I was looking for. This work started when I was about 4 years old and loved having discovered a Cemetery. It seemed this was something to look forward to understanding more about. Eventually after three trips around the world and almost losing my life 5 times, I arrived at this as my attempt to complete a certain aspect of this original body of work that is supposed to influence and inspire you if you are truly interested in what they represent.
