Artist Statement - These bronze works are based on the female form, modeled as gestured studies, that replicate ancient artefacts, unearthed from their natural habitats, that blend with the natural textures of earth, combining humanistic life with nature. These studies narrate the external beauty of women, enhancing the inner sensuality of her spiritual being, giving way to harmonious and rhythmic motion.
 
They are reflections of the ancient classical Greek style that emulates this external beauty even in a fragmented form. These fragmented forms denote time, revealing only traces of an original and once intact composition, that have been restored and stabilized in their existing condition, and formally presented in an antiquated state, in a museum-like mounting. This is a re-discovery of an ancient style of art, exemplified by the patina applied to each bronze, which is a crucial element, to signify these works originated from this particular time period.
 
They initiate an interactive dialogue that open up new avenues pertaining to the significance and merit of the artwork, through execution, technique and choice of material. A depiction of an ancient art form, projecting a corrosive state of depletion, or a state of preservation, symbolizing a new renaissance and re-discovery, that primarily focuses on the object, not necessarily the anatomical features of the figures.
