Bronze Abstract Sculptures
Most of my sculptures are either completely abstract, or “abstracted” figures, heads and animals. They span a continuum from representational to abstract, often exploring geometric, organic, and inventive forms. Some key themes in my work include:
- Geometric forms: circles and spheres are central in pieces like ‘Abstract Wave 2’ and Sphere, where positive shapes and negative spaces interact to create dynamic tension.
- Tool-inspired shapes: works such as ‘Claw Form’ draw on geometric motifs found in everyday objects.
- Organic forms: sculptures like ‘Fruits on Trunk’ reimagine natural forms, presenting two or three fruits on a branch in a stylised, abstracted way.
- Human figures and heads: I simplify, omit, or combine elements to highlight essential forms. For example, in ‘Standing Together’ and ‘Family Group’, limbs are reduced to focus on connection and expression. Pieces like ‘Trumpet Woman’ blend the figure with geometric shapes, creating an original dialogue between form and concept.
- Inventive abstractions: Works such as ‘Sun and Moon’ and ‘Mother and Child 2’ merge multiple faces or heads into a single form, exploring relationships and dualities.
- Some sculptures also use exaggeration to evoke ancient archetypes, such as wide hips and slim waists in ‘First Woman’, or pronounced upper arms in ‘Little Venus’, emphasising sensuous round forms.
