I am thrilled to have just recently picked up two new sculptures of mine from the Two Ravens Studio foundry. Both sculptures are something of an advancement of my sculpting style.
Hot Yoga
Hot Yoga is one third of life size and features a female performing the yoga posture known to yoga practitioners as a variant of the “pigeon pose”. You can’t miss the arc that flows as a dominant line through the piece. Yoga postures often create visual interest and serve to provoke the awe-inspired question of “how can she do that?” But yoga isn’t just about poses—one of the challenges of sculpting such subject matter is to convey the sense of well-being that the yogi enters into during her practice.
Dance for Joy
Dance for Joy is perhaps my all time favorite sculpture that I have created during my eighteen year career as an artist. Like Hot Yoga, this sculpture presents a dynamic image of the human form, which is beguiling from all viewing angles. While sculpting Dance for Joy, I was inspired to capture the lines of the female figure as she arches and twists her body in an expression of playful delight
