Untitled, Prototype 1
This life size man-child was reductively carved from insulation foam, and coated in paint and graphite. This prototype is displayed on the wall but is also shown in floor spaces. This piece follows a painting from 2007 and is concerned with the ambiguity of this gesture of the arms and hands outstretched. It remains untitled but I hope that this sculpture be interpreted and experienced on multiple levels by suggesting three possibilities for its interpretation: Orant, Protest, Celebration. The material weight in contrast to its material presence also points to this ambiguity of interpretation.
I find this very meaningful…this I considered the best out of all that I’ve seen so far..
Were the shadows of man-child meant to be apprehended as the overall presentation?
GOOD JOB! Post
