This particular piece was a collaboration with my partner Jackie Hurlbert…I made the head sculpture, she added those fantastic appendages and patina…transforming the piece into what you see above.
I’ve struggled (against my inner critic’s side-eye) to sculpt, draw, or paint hundreds of heads/faces over a handful of decades—and I keep on trying because of the creative alchemy that brings faces uncannily to life.
Post November 2024, artmaking became exponentially/urgently more vital to me as catharsis—expression/release/therapy. I recently “invented” an invisible means of support for this series of heads, so they float on a wall as if by their own volition—little entities of benevolent presence waiting to share my notice…sensing/reflecting what’s going on with me…guardians of my inner universe…touchstones of strength and sanity amidst a world gone awry. (That’s my intent as their maker anyway, the rest is up to you.)
