I’ve spent more time creating this sculpture– two women who occupy the same space– than any other, even my largest architectural commission. And I’ve had plenty of time to think about it. But I still don’t know which aspect of this curious image is more engaging to me—the technical or the spiritual. Both figures are only visible where they share space with the other. Each exists only where it inhabits the other. The body is in fact a metaphor for the soul. If they are two aspects of the same person, body (the smaller figure) and soul (the larger), then only where the body synchronizes with the soul do both become apparent. The less the body coincides with the soul, the less apparent each becomes. In order to become a whole person, the two must synchronize perfectly. But why let perfection obscure that more intriguing beauty— the longing for perfection? Contact us for more info or photos: TimHolmesStudio.com

Born 1955 in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Tim Holmes is the first American artist ever invited to exhibit solo at the world's largest art museum, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia, where his sculptures remain on permanent exhibit. He has created sculpture for some of the world's peacemaking organizations from the United Nations to the Chinese dissident students of Tiananmen Square. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, President Jimmy Carter, President Vaclav Havel, and Coretta Scott King are among Holmes' best-known collectors. Holmes has created many international projects such as the U.N. Peace Prize for Women and other peace awards. He has worked with Archbishop Desmond Tutu in creating a monument for the international peace center on Robben Island, the gulag where President Nelson Mandela and thousands of other South Africans were imprisoned during the dark apartheid years. He's also made the sculpture intended as focus piece for Cape Town's bid for the Olympics. Though Holmes is most well known for sculpture he has worked in a variety of media from museum installations to films for creative social transformation. His award-winning series of Body Psalms films focuses on the value of the body in capitalist culture and often appears at special screenings- frequently outside art and theater settings- in the US and Europe. He's a founding member of the Montana Logging and Ballet Co., National Public Radio's "resident political satirists" during the Clinton presidency and has served on the Montana Arts Council.
