Tolkien Etchings

Overall dimensions: 28′ x 13′ x 9′

The notion of having sculptures flow seamlessly from large paintings several feet into space is very exciting to me, and the use of styrofoam in my second installation at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts (2004) Allowed me to realized this. I was also somewhat inspired by Matise’s “Joie De Vivre”, and the floor sculpture of my work derives fairly directly from one of the figures in this painting. The human figure was what first inspired me to make art and is still a great passion. In school I discovered the wonderful abstraction of Arp, Brancusi and others, and have been interested in the idea of creating sculptures that very fluidly fuse the realistic human figure with abstract forms ever since.
