Sculpture - Life Size and Larger
“Fascinated by composition in each pursuit, painting demands more from my intellect, while sculpting requires more from my tactile senses. Restricted by the two dimensional format of painting, I work to create an illusion of distance, air, color, and feeling in each piece; whereas with sculpture, I am able to physically form the clay, dealing with values as my “color” to achieve the necessary perspective and dimension to portray my feeling. Design and study of the human figure were my focus in school. In an effort to draw better, I picked up clay. My love of color drives me to keep experimenting with colorful patinas. To me painting and sculpture are one and the same; I try to include my entire experience in my work. Whatever my medium, I want the viewer to feel included. Until running into Degas’ fourteen year-old ballerina, I was happy to be a painter. That piece brought out the sculptor in me.”
