“Male and Female He Created Them”

Straight, lesbian, gay, confused, bi, trans, queer. Differences? Surely. Of consequence? Less than imagined.

A host of contemporary artists using various mediums are intent to make sculptures that reflect something fundamental –even hidden– about life as we know it.  Their method is to declutter. Some tag the effort minimalism.  The effort accents black and white, use other colors sparingly, and transform the simplest of forms to create incredibly stunning art.  The movement has influenced contemporary couture, painting, design, sculpture, poetry and even architecture.  Think of the popularity of high-end “soft contemporary” homes with their white walls, high ceilings, extended glass, and striking furniture.

I have tried to reflect this tradition to find beauty in simplicity by combining the fundamental elements of point, line, and volume to form two similar yet subtly different forms. I like it.  My hope is that the piece find its way into a contemporary home or office.
