About the Item
"As an artist, I am fascinated by the inherent balance and symmetry possible in geometric structures, which reflect the order and structure underlying the natural world. By embracing these forms, I strive to create a sculpture that conveys a sense of harmony, balance, and serenity.
At the same time, I am captivated by the expressive potential of abstract figurative sculpture. The human form, stripped of literal representation, can convey a sense of universality and connection. Through simplification and abstraction, I aim to distill the essence of the human form, inviting viewers to explore the tension between the geometric and the figurative.
Combining these two influences, my artistic practice is driven by a desire to create works that resonate with people from all walks of life. I aspire to offer moments of contemplation, inviting viewers to engage with the sculptures and discover their own personal narratives within the forms." - Kevin Kelly.
