Freed

The chain is broken. The rope is snapped. Freed from the ties that bind - from domestic violence, poverty, persecution, anxiety. This is a sculpture of hope. I am a doctor who sculpts. I use recycled scrap steel, rarely knowing what the outcome will be. It’s the steel - the size, shape, patina, and weight that directs the inclination to work with those pieces to create a sculpture where the whole is perceived as greater than the sum of its parts. Only when the construction is completed does the sculpture itself suggest a name.
