Abstract

My work is a reaction to the current movement away from traditional sculpture. In response, I have created a series of figurative sculptures that I placed on non-traditional pedestals. When I look at the art world, I see how contemporary sculpture has veered away from art on a pedestal in favor of performance, installation, and time-based sculpture. In my research, I examine systems of wealth and power. There are the haves and the have nots. It is obvious a small percentage of people control the world and we are all affected and the economic gap keeps widening every day. I see how power has been represented in art: Portraits are idealized, sculptures are made of refined and precious materials, and there is opulence in the presentation.
