My work explores classical sculpture and its deterioration over time. I predominantly paint sculpture from the Classical and Hellenistic periods, as sculptors then I think had perfected their craft in their ability to convey drama, expressive movement, and emotion. My monotypes allow me not only to convey this expression, but also to depict movement in sculptures that are inherently still, fixed in the past. In addition to the classical sculptors that I explore, I am also inspired by the sculptures of Rodin, especially his sculptures from the 1890s. Rodin sculpted figures that were already incomplete and fractured, to appreciate the fact that sculpture can still be beautiful in a state of deterioration. Instead of concentrating on all the sculptures that we have lost and all those that have broken down overtime, my work is inspired to celebrate these sculptures in their fragmentary state.
