Artist Statement:
The quest for some personal
religious framework permeates
the themes and attitudes of my
sculpture. Present also are
recurring psychological
determinants. The sculptures
draw on a thematic pool that
has fed many artists from the
past: love, death,
metamorphosis, redemption,
violence and so on. The
sculptures are fashioned in
clay and plaster and cast into
bronze. They show little
interest in contemporary
sculptural notions of "process
and materials", employing
these elements only in so far
as craft is present and
necessary to build a good
piece of sculpture. Visual and
mythological associations are
sought from the art of the
past, including the
Hellenistic, Greek, Roman,
Mesopotamian, Aztec, Coptic,
Indian, 19th century French
and many others. ...
