Wedlock 1980, 19'-6" high He articulates this meaning through gesture and pose. Volumes are summarized in the subtle turn of wrist or the fingers of a hand. “As a pianist, I am particularly sensitive to the expressive power of hands and feet,” the artist explains. “They can be used to extend the energy of a sculpture out into the surrounding space, as in Wedlock, or they can focus energy, increasing a sculpture’s intensity.” Every aspect of his work amplifies the power of emotional experience to be drawn from each piece.Steve Mirabella, Art Critic  |
