From Paper to Pedestal ... Drawn to Sculpture

       A sculptor can travel down an interesting road when translating a two dimensional drawing into a three dimensional form. Generally, the construction of a piece goes pretty much as planned in a preliminary sketch. Sometimes there are subtle variations made during the process... size relationships, the positioning on a base, the tilt of the head. And, sometimes, there can be significant changes. These can be the result of the challenges presented by a specific medium or simply because of the nature of the creative process. The artist's mind is in a continual state of problem solving and an original idea can morph into a myriad of different forms from the moment of conception right through the various stages of construction. This can be both a challenge and a benefit. There may be an initial frustration at the often mercurial nature of the process, but then there is the satisfaction achieved in the revelation of the finished piece.
