UNFINISHED WORK

First and foremost on my mind these days is the Holocaust Monument-Requiem. I have just gotten into the studio the beautifully made base for me to begin the sculpture on. What you see here is 1/4 of the base on the ground and the other 1/4 sitting upright. Together they comprise one-half of the entire pit. This 9 ft. by 18ft wooden structure is the beginning of the sculpture-Requiem.

This work is in the very rough stages.
It is a work titled Falling Away.
I was thinking about how we hold on to that which is already dead. This work can be about relationships, it can be about the broader idea of how we have lost out faith in religion...Of course, the influence came from Michelangelo's Pieta. This is my modern day take on that.
This work is called Precipice. He will be balanced on a very tall cliff. There is really no way down for him or no way off the cliff. He's already finding that the cliff is not going to hold him, that it is about to crumble out from under him....
Actually the piece above, Precipice is already cast in bronze, but I didn't have time to photograph it before I sold it. It is an Edition of 9. The work look great on it's own tall curved bronze base, but I have this extra wax in the studio and thought it would be fun sometime to finish it and have him climbing a wall. It would be a completely different piece with a completely different meaning. Fun.

This is little piece I call "Writhe".
It's been a complex and eventful year.
