ARTIST’S STATEMENT

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

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

Public Art/Site Specific Sculpture: The challenge of 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 (by 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!!

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 materials 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.

MCC PUBLIC DISPLAY OF ANGER:

The subject of pedophilia within the Catholic Church..... First a painted bronze chess set, "Communion", displaying the changes that occur to children who have been sexually molested.

"Communion II": This group of paintings contains the anger that MCC feels for the lack of timely positive actions by the Catholic Church to stop these pedophiles!!!
