I am a sculptor living in Los Angeles. My work explores the emotional space that happens within (and without) relationships. The sculpture, ‘Falling Away’ is our modern day Pieta, not in a biblical sense but rather in a human sense. It’s about the deep, intimate connections between people. We understand the cost of love. We know that the fullness of life renders a fullness of emotions. ‘Falling Away’ is about the cost of love. ‘Falling Away’ speaks of hanging on, of letting go, of caring... but mostly it speaks of connecting to another individual. For this exhibition, the work engages the viewer with an image of the emotional damage of loss… the brutal and senseless losses we experience as a result of war affect us deeply- and forever cast a sad shadow on our compassionate hearts.
