Advance Drawing

Figurative sculptor finding the consciousness and aliveness ever present in all beings and things entangled in the human form. Tracing the human body, that which comes forth is shaped and re-shaped a few times. What might be a fleeting pleasurable assembly of lines in a drawing gets recast and reshaped in translating the 2 dimensional drawing into a 3 dimensional clay model. Suddenly the back of the artwork is just as important as the front. And then yet another transformation takes place when the clay model is carved in stone. And just as the clay model carried the emerging unknown a step further so did the stone. And with every change of material the incoming medium imposes it’s own unique advantages and restrictions. No matter how satisfying the artwork might seem in clay, the stone recasts the ideas and presents yet another expression.
