“Sculpting body ego, as it was formed, molded, perceived, internalized … and as it evolved.”

figurative

I’d never taken an art class prior to attending MassArt, but I discovered in Sculpture 101 that I had a facility for the figure and was encouraged to continue focusing on the more classical figurative form.

“Man is the measure of all things,” Protagoras said, meaning that our individual perceptions shape our understanding of truth and reality. Our human experience. Our variations. Thinking. Feeling. Expressing. Evolving. Dying. Art revealing truths. Felt. Hidden. Denied.

The human figure reflects back our human experience, our most common human bond, our universal language. Our bodies are beautiful, complex, passionate, revealing, thoughtful, powerful, unknowable. My works are a personal minute slice of these infinite forms of what is to be human.

I learned early on about the courage to live and the power of death; living is truly a mystery, art a vital reality.
