In this architectural figure series the brick armature is revealed, the layers breaking away abstracts the figure and a host of interesting dynamics come into play… Attention to beauty lost is heightened. The juxtaposition between hard and soft is like the layers of the human personality or character. Breaking out of your confines Inner strength is stronger than flesh and bone.

ach piece within the edition is still uniquely original, each torso is hand built by the artist and then fired in a wood burning kiln so that the finishes and fragmentation are exclusive to that piece.
 
This figure fragment is one sided has a hollow back that allows the sculpture to be hung on a wall.
