Artist Statement:
The shaping and use of stone
is a vital part of the human
endeavor. The fashioning of
tools and implements by stone
age peoples, the votive Venus
figures of the Neolithic
period, cycladic sculpture of
the eighth millennium BC,
classical sculpture of Greece
and Egypt and all the
sculpture to the present
indicates that stone sculpture
is intrinsic to human
expression.
Sculpting in stone directly
links me to the people of the
past. The subject and ideas I
choose are derived from the
past thus strengthening that
link. The resolutions of the
technical problems are the
same that sculptors in the
past confronted and solved.
Although modern tools and
implements facilitate my work
I am still doing what all
sculptors and stone carvers
have done in the past;
chipping, abrading and
polishing the stone to release
the form contained therein.
My ideas and subjects are
borrowed from antiquity with
each piece telling a story.
Antiquity provides a wealth of
resources for my work;
warriors, the myths, Venus
figures, beasts, demigods and
shaman/priests are the
subjects I appropriate. In
executing an idea, the
importance of light and
shadow, through the use of
negative space is a primary
concern in the ...
