Curator’s Comment:
Dig the Sky is an elegant piece, economic in design, but sumptuous in surface texture and patina. For me it calls to mind a basic utilitarian axe or shovel; but the joint at the base also anthropomorphizes the sculpture to suggest a pelvic bone and hip socket. While the actual material isn’t indentified, I see a chiseled edge reductive sculpting of form that beautifully contrasts the organic modulation. The pale blue and streaked cobalt coloration recalls the sky, but also weathered erosion from the elements over time. I’m also quite drawn to the images of the Gladiator helmet, which has a commanding figurative presence as well, and resolved connection to antiquity. Its smooth curvilinear lines subtly diverge and contrast from the even circular holes in the helmet’s face mask, and create overlapping stacked ellipses in building the structure. While your other figurative works share a graceful manipulation of human gesture, these fragmented pieces provide an interesting narrative and dialectic investigation.
