Self Portrait |

In the sculptor's words...
I think the forms in this sculpture are deceptively simple.
There is a quietude to the sculpture but also an emotional intensity. Half the face is polished into a mask. This is a symbolic defense. When I go out and deal with the public, I feel like
I have to have a hard mask on in order to protect myself.
The arms are very big. This
implies potential. However, his thumbs are
just tucked into his pockets. He’s not
doing anything with his hands or arms. This is
like untapped potential and the frustration I’ll sometimes feel at not getting enough
done. A feeling that I should accomplish more.
