Here’s my latest piece, which when finished will be solid
cast in stainless steel, polished and mounted onto a Corten steel base –
currently the wax is with Lost Wax Developments awaiting investment casting.
This piece portrays the all too frequent way in which the conviction,
hope and belief in love can be ill-founded - the heart of one is deeply imbedded
in the other, the trust of love destroyed, eradicated completely, with the
innocent painfully bleeding and the guilty dominating, overpowering and
ultimately remaining unscathed.
It’s another piece in my series of sculptures exploring the often
over romantic notions surrounding love, and especially the symbolic heart that
depicts it….
“Unrequited” – The crippling agony and suffocating loneliness
of love that is not returned.
“Without” – The confusion in life where love simply does not
exist.
“The End” – The dark destruction and totality of love that
ends.
“Search” – The often endless and fruitless search for love
in life.
“Lost” – The emptiness and lifelessness of lost love.
“Imprisoned” – The confinement of a love unavailable.
“Give and take” – The loss of one’s heart when given to
another.
….each one bringing an unseen opposing image and significance
to the common perception.
The piece is scheduled for casting in late February, and
once complete will feature here.
