“Quiet Desperation”

“Soul Searching”

“Katherine”

Sculptures “Soul Searching” This sculpture was created based on Plate 23 from Tom Bianchi’s book Out of the Studio. I chose the title because it seemed that this physically strong man was emotionally devastated. He was searching from within for some sort of answer. “Quiet Desperation” My most emotional piece to date. Following the 9/11 attacks, my husband and I attended a memorial service for a friend’s brother who was killed in the Twin Towers. That was the closest I had ever been to such raw pain and emotion. Out of that experience “Quiet Desperation” was born. She is a tribute to all of the survivors who are forever part of the attacks. The roughness surrounding the figure represents the destruction. Although she is part of that – her hair blends in with the rough texture, and she is partially engulfed by it – she is strong enough to overcome because there are other people who need her. Her hand breaks through the back of the sculpture, and the words “faith. Love, and hope” are carved into the bronze. “Katherine” This graceful piece depicts a love of life and a beauty that transcends all time. She emerges out of the water, still carrying a sea shell from her travels. This sculpture is shown in clay and is still being modified. It stands at 26”.
