New work


I've been thinking about the incorperation of an environment in my figures and this is one result. I want the pedestal to act as an extention of the individual, or a creation of theirs to reflect their personality. In a way, to demonstrate our cultures emphasis on the self, and deal with issues of individuality, insecurity, and solitary thoughts. Increasingly i have been enjoying the scale of the figurine, and feel like the association with toys works well with my concept. I want my figures to be like toys that have been played with; in a figurative sense. Thoes that pearch on a tower or are atatched to some base or burden, in a way would be playing with the creation of that object and would refrence a ripple effect of influence.
