"And from the point of view of art there are no concrete or abstract forms, but only forms which are more or less convincing lies. That those lies are necessary to our mental selves is beyond any doubt, as it is through them that we form our aesthetic point of view of life."
As quoted by Marius de Zayas, in 'The Arts', New York, May 1923

It was a long day of walking and wet snow in . In the evening I found this lady on the porch of the drama theater. She looked very tragic in the rain. This sculpture was created based on the work of A. Chekhov's Lady with a Dog.I'm looking for sculptors who might take a commission for a bronze statue. (It's not for me but I'd really like to find someone for this.)

Cow, this quote came to mind when sculpting this

Fascinating article on contemporary artists who incorporate the nude into their work. This line resonated: The art world "has remained largely conservative about what kinds of bodies it chooses to depict, celebrate, and immortalize." I created figurative works over the past couple of years. I could give you a list of curators who wouldn't even look at my work. They rejected it without seeing it first. Conservative, indeed.

Just shipped these babies to the Clay Center of New Orleans. I'm super excited to be one of the artists chosen by juror Courtney Mattison to showcase my work in the "Ripple Effect" exhibit opening April 19th.
The two pieces I will be showing are sculpted out of white stoneware clay and glazed a lovely bronze color that changes depending on the lighting.
