"Wonder World"



"Wonder World" 10"x6"x6" terra cotta with an acrylic patina. The base is a stack of 3 books called,"The New Wonder World".

When I did this sculpture I lived in Princeville, Kauai, HI. It was one of those days when the trades blow right through your house making everything feel free. I felt like creativity could fly right out of my head, and though my fingers if I let it. The process of creativity is so elusive, ya know? One day everything comes so easy and the paints or clay or whatever medium you are using just seems to work. You finish and find yourself asking how you did it. I always wonder if it really was me who did it. The truth is that on so many occations 'I' did not... it was created through me.
"Wonder World's" head explodes with all the things imagination can bring... if we let it.



I will be posting my sculptures, describing them i.e. medium, sizes and thoughts every few days.
