Persuasion

Persuasion

Just back from the foundry with my most recently completed bronze sculpture, entitled PERSUASION. It’s about 30 inches wide and 18 inches tall. In this work, I chose to create an image of a male and female tugging in opposite directions. The image can conjure many questions. Are the figures caught in the eternal tug of opposing intentions? Does each playfully want to show the other his/her perspective? Is she saying goodbye and he is begging her to not leave? Can this be viewed as a metaphor depicting the different sides of ourselves that oppose each other in our psyches?

If you’re in Edmonds, you can see it at Cole Gallery.
