ARTIST'S
STATEMENT
"I'm
inspired by the figurative work of Rodin, which combines
artistic detail with human emotion, which I feel is essential
for the birth of great art. Learning and evolving from the
study of artists like Rodin is my daily goal.
In
the bust of Dylan Thomas I tried to represent the great
poet in a forlorn pose. This, I feel, was a strong emotional
characteristic within the man and I hope that I have conveyed
that feeling within the bust.
Whilst
many monumental sculptures are technically precise, I belive
that they often lack an emotional element which invokes
life within the piece."
