Statement:
Creating a sculpture from old small
wooden boat parts is not how I normally work. I use a formal
vocabulary of shapes arranged in ordered configurations
to create abstract geometric sculpture that is non-representational.
So I was intrigued by the challenge of creating found-object
sculpture. I have always been interested in the sculpture
of the early part of the twentieth century—found-object
and cubist by artists such as Picasso, Julio Gonzales, Jacques
Lipchitz, and others of that time. Since I have built several
small wooden boats and am familiar with the shapes involved
and with wooden boat construction, I thought would use the
parts available to create a figurative sculpture.
