Totem D' Infinité bronze wood totem

2011

About the Item

The Totem Series was inspired by Brancusi’s sculptures which used a variety of materials including bronze, wood, plaster and stone.  The elements creatively placed one piece on top of the other to form an integrated and related whole.  What formerly was considered a pedestal became an integral part of the sculpture.  My Totem Series seeks to achieve material integration in each individually unique piece. Themes that permeate my work continue in this series:  emergence, duality, balance vs. imbalance in a physical sense and a psychological inference.  One form emerges out of another to guide the eye of the viewer.  Duality and Yin Yang can be seen in the contrasting use of materials, bronze for cold and wood for warmth.  Duality is evident in changing textures – smooth to rough, one color into another, convex to concave, dark to light.  These sculptures reflect the changing nature of our relationships…nothing is constant…all is impermanent.
