full scale human figures
wood
Description: This proposed work will be a series of full-size, figurative, wood sculptures comprising a body of work with the working title, "Affectations." These pieces present narrative scenarios in which the sculpted human figures literally bear the affected forms of their personae projected upon their bodies. The selection of wood as my primary material is specific to these narratives.
The first of these pieces, titled "Highboy," [left in photo] is currently in progress at the Headlands Center for the Arts. It will be constructed entirely in mahogany wood.
