The Art of Sculpture
Making sculpture is my way of talking.
It is communication without words.
Each piece has a different idea.
The meaning comes through understanding the process.
Part of the process is creating a style.
My style opposes the norm.
When I listen to words people say I may miss their meaning.
Typing poetry about my work invites listening.
It is an opportunity to speak about the experience.
The progression in my sculptures has brought about new purpose.
From just using construction paper and glue to all different materials,
my personality has emerged.
It is evident in each thing I create and speaks for me.
Those who know me well are part of the conversation.
People who do not know me may learn from looking at my sculptures.
Poetry is my vehicle for explaining my thoughts.
Others may speak their thoughts.
I use the art of sculpture to express myself.
