I'm not sure whether I like this or not, but it has a quirkiness about it.

I am interested in using the viscera and bodily systems as a departure point for imagined life forms and their environments.

The first is that which is material: muscles, bones, organs, etc. These are visualized from macro organ level to micro cellular level. The second is that which is the intangible essence: emotion, intellect, intuition, instinct, etc. The sacred internal and the physical internal comprise the same energy. It is as possible to feel emotion physically as it is to have physical acts cause emotion two main aspects. These are the physical internal and the sacred internal.

I think Danielle would be interested in this as it has internal body parts.

I love the playfulness of these pieces.  It brings out the child in me.  The display is very effective

The unconsciousness of a human can be replaced with words of multiple selves

The inner self exists in many forms in the inside of us through dismantling, division, and replication.

I would like to pursue a possibility of new expression by using a illustrative character image from a perspective of its morphologic aspect.


Lizzie, I think you would like this one as it has a playfulness about it.

I like the way he captures the muscles in the horses. I also like the way that the horses are inscribed.

As an artist, it has become my passion to capture the grace and natural poise of an animal in nature. The attraction is twofold: I am drawn to formal aspects of working figuratively -- bone structure, muscle tones, folds of skin or fat – but it’s the act itself, the physical process of making, that inspires me most. The pushing of the clay is quick, manipulative, and gestural.

Hubert, I think this one I worth looking into as it shows horses and captures the muscles.

Laura, This could be an idea for you to inscribe a picture into your stones.

 I like Andrea's work as it is both realistic and playful, yet having a statue look about it.

By mixing metaphors of the home, the flood, and the subconscious, I am exploring 

how suppressed memories of traumatic experiences can adversely affect behaviours, 

actions, and relationships within the home.


Molly, I think you might like Andrea's work as not only does it show figures but also how to display them.

Molly & Lizzie: I think you could be interested in this artist as it is mainly human figures:
"My sculpture tells stories that are human, relatable, and strive to leave some trace on the viewer through communicating an emotional narrative. 

strive to make the rendering of the figure visually stimulating and even alluring. 

This creates the effect of simultaneous attraction and repulsion"
