TORSO IN MOTION

front view
Edition Size: 12
Material: Bronze
Size: 18.5" H

I've always thought of sculpture torsos as being rather static. So when I decided to sculpt one myself, I wanted to bring it to life, give it some energy. I feel this piece has that energy. The body bends and twists. And instead of mounting it perpendicularly, I placed it at an angle and had it lean over its base to further dramatize the figure's movement.
