ARTIST’S STATEMENTS
 

I am changing the focus of my webpage.  It will now contain my sculpture and my paintings. 

A separate group of sculpture/paintings titled "Communion" & "Communion II" will be described but not shown at this time.

 

  

 
  MCC SCULPTURAL WORK:   has been in two fields with a wide variation in size, function and subject matter.           
 

Gallery Series:            Starting with the human figure and then moving beyond it’s traditional shapes I explore the possibilities of not being predictable.

 

Public Art/Site Specific Sculpture:          The challenge is creating a sculptural solution that fits the site and purpose of the Commission.  My competition teams have submitted plans of complete environments for many national Public Art commissions. 

I have created very large abstract commissions that involved stacking, fitting and carving stone blocks/slabs. The Tahoe Conservancy Commission  includes information within the sculpture.   Another example is a 7.6’ H three stone stacked sculpture commission as well as many sculptural benches for Public Art Sites.  At all times  the forms are pushed to become a sculpture that moves, balances and supports.

 

NEW  BRONZE/Faux  SERIES!!!      This  foam media with its newly invented ( MCC) combination of environmentally safe long lasting outdoor/indoor coatings will allow the creation of large sculpture that are not restricted because of weight.  These new sculpture will be able to climb walls, hang from atriums and vault through glass!! 

 
 
MCC PAINTINGS:  This has been an ongoing passion.  Included are paintings in oil and paintings on paper.  There will also be an updated current series of mixed medium paintings on paper.

Using a 2D method of expressing  ideas, I have created the "My"/"My Spirit"/& "Windows" series.  Each series deals with passionate ideas that are best expressed in this medium.

 

  
"COMMUNION " & "COMMUNION II":  These are two expressions of anger at the Roman Catholic Church for its lax control of pedophilia within the Church. 

"Communion" is a cast bronze painted chess set with the abused children represented by the White side and the Roman Catholic Church by the Black side.  The children are shown as they grow older and what sexual abuse has done to them. 

"Communion II" is a series of 6 paintings that more graphically show the artist's anger against the Roman Catholic Church and its protection of pedophile priests.

These two groups of MCC work create a strong visual statement and are viewer sensitive.  Please request images from MCC.

 

  
 
  COMMENT ON RESEARCH AREA:   I have continued to research Prehistoric, Copper/Bronze Age stone sites.  I am beginning to understand the magnificent beauty of the design of these Temples and Tombs that were created from local stones in a time before iron tools.  I see them as living stone sculptures that were created to serve the spiritual needs of our ancestors. The proportions that were created using the limiting local stone are beautiful. They are more than just functional.
