Ten years ago the idea of the angel sculptures began to form in my mind. I wanted to take the idea of perfection and juxtapose it to the human flaw that prevents perfection. I started with the one thing I struggle most with in my own life, depression. So I sculpted "Despero".
The sculpture will be available for purchase in late June 2010. (click on the images below to view a larger image)
"Shake off all fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God, because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." —Thomas Jefferson
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." —Albert Einstein
"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." — Douglas Adams
"This readout tells you where you're going, this one tells you where you are, this one tells
you where you were." —Dr. Emmett L. Brown
A friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you just the same. —Elbert Hubbard
"Like all religions, the Holy Religion of the Invisible Pink Unicorn is based upon both Logic and Faith. We have Faith that She is Pink; and we Logically know that She is Invisible, because we can't see Her."
