Sculptures
:
Before beginning iconography I had been a full-time
sculptor. It was in fact the search for ways of expressing
in sculpture the spiritual nature of the human person
that led me to discover the icon tradition. Since
1983, apart from relief icon carvings, I have not
done much sculpting in the round.
Recently however, while remaining committed to iconography
as my main work, I have become interested in taking
up again the task of exploring ways in which sculpted
heads can suggest the divine image of God in man.
Such works are not liturgical in function, but can
play a role in the larger world of suggesting something
of the spiritual dignity of the human person.
