SCULPTURE STATEMENT
I am drawn to the figure, in it's abstract form
representing
all of humanity. I am interested in the mood and personality of
each sculpture, represented by the drop of a shoulder or the tilt
of a hip. I have always been fascinated by the fact that no two
humans look alike, even the figure in its simplest form, featureless.
I do not form an idea before I start working, but rather let the
form emerge. As I create my sculpture, a life appears, a personality
appears
what does it want to say? What does it have to offer?
I choose to Raku my work as the process is both exhilarating and
unpredictable. When a piece emerges from the smoke, it is like a
birth.
Are all of its toes and fingers there? What color, what emotion,
is it bringing into this world?
