Creative Experimental Sculpture
Look on the world wide web, go to Google and search for experimental Sculpture and you will find a wealth of amazing images and rafts of articles. Auguste Rodin , Paul Gauguin, Degas, all feature heavily in almost every single article.
The times when experimental sculpture was new, innovative,shocking to the public's view has now passed. Again the world web is the source of so much information, so many virtual galleries and exhibitions that any subject , not just art, literally any subject has its dedicated pages. But for art there is the magic of Google.
Taking a 360 degree imagery and putting it all together Google provides the art lover of all genre a special treat, a tour of thousands of pieces of art. Galleries have allowed the tours to be created to enable a greater appreciation of our human races creativity and it is amazing. You can even create your own virtual gallery to admire at leasure.

Through this medium I discovered the splendid imaginative works by Olafur Eiliasson.
Wirbelwerk in particular pleased me. A magnificent construction of steel, glass and mirror.
His 2008 Sun Has No Money is intriguing.
The Mur Associations 394 aerosols all individually painted for the 400ML project is fascinating and worthy of a visit.
but for all that the site is a great addition to our extending skills and our wider perceptions of art and in particular for myself, sculpture. It is the hands on, creativity, the personal 'touch' that gives me the deepest satisfaction.
I have a love of clay. It becomes alive between my hands and grows of its own accord into the shape it desires. I have no true idea of what it is I am going to create. Sat quietly, rolling the slick malleable substance between my hands, soft, warmed by being 'worked', it slides into a shape , almost unconsciously I have begun.
I can take hours over what to many would appear to be a minor detail and yet the form, the actual body of the work, may spring into life inside an hour or two. It is always for me, the feel of it all once I close my eyes.
I must be able to feel the emotions, the message, the sensation my eyes have viewed.
When I created Sea Horse, originally it was meant to be one of four. Air, Fire Water Earth. I had, in my minds eye, already constructed the partners of Sea Horse, perhaps that is why I did not complete them. They had sprung into life before the clay had come to my hands, they would demand of me, make requests for a leaf here, or a flame there, whatever caused me to halt, it was done. I could not complete the design at that time. Those visions had pre-empted my then sequence of creativity, short circuited my flow of energy towards the creation.
Perhaps now, with my age, dominating inner artists vulnerabilities, I could, I will, finish the pieces and finally give them the deserved airing.
Porcelain, and life size in relation to this image and lending itself to a really dramatic photography session as well. Perfect in every single detail, it didn't get the chance to leave the art room for display, it was chosen and claimed inside an hour of it cooling from the kiln, which was a very real compliment.
this piece is named Tantra
Sculpture is for my own personal enjoyment. I do not make it to please others or to instil a message to anyone else. if they see or feel something then that is wonderful, but essentially each piece of art, every single line,every surface is there because my emotions are involved, aiding, halting, encouraging, the work is part of my inner self, a piece of whatever it is that makes me, me..... is in every piece.
I continue to create, to sculpt, currently I am experimenting with of all things, papier mache and loving the lesser stresses of waiting for something to dry instead of waiting for something to cool with the fear it will all smash to smithereens.
Sculpture is our love of creation in a three dimensional form, I like to add music, and light. But essential to all of my work, is the ability to touch.
My sculptures are not meant for the pedestal, they are intended to invite your finger tips to touch, to stroke, for hands to cradle and stroke. I love sculpture of all the art I create it is this medium that fills my heart with quiet contentment.
