Sculpture: Archetypal Characters and Situations

These figures begin as questions: What if? What else? Why not? Dozens of pencil and watercolor sketches move me closer to the underlying archetype. When a unique character emerges I move on to three dimensions. Wire armatures become line drawings in space. Arms, legs, hands, and heads continuously repositioned until the gesture tells the story

Color and surface come last, projecting personality and meaning. Bold palette, complex texture, dynamic form. Most figures are genderless, culturally neutral, and uniquely original.

These are archetypal metaphors — characters and situations that live in all of us. They are not illustrations of ideas. They are invitations to look a little deeper.
