"Resonance" is a bronze partial figure of a female nude who appears to be in movement thought that is left up to the observer's interpretation as the only depiction is partial head and torso. The expression on the figure's face is inscrutable, a smile much like the Mona Lisa, and it may ultimately be whatever one chooses to see into it. The bronze sculpture is seated upon a circular seat and base. “As a sculptor I am very interested in the built environment. Public Art and large-scale sculpture are exciting fields because of their range of expression and impact on our surroundings and the experience of daily life. My work as a public artist is adapted to the specifics of the opportunity. As a sculptor I am able to bring a range of design and fabrication skills to any public art project. My sculptural designs supplement a collaborative process that includes a community’s voice." My approach for all public art opportunities begins with an assessment of the project requirements and consideration for the setting of the artwork. This includes the function of the site as a social space, and the regional history that defines the community. The emphasis of these efforts has been on place making, engaging the community, and providing artistic elements that offer an uplifting and meaningful experience. “My work is both abstract and representational. My interest in the figurative tradition and architectural ornament are central to my creative efforts. Of equal importance is the influence of the early modernist from which my explorations into abstraction have evolved.” “Animating form thru the plasticity of materials and utilizing negative space to create forms that express both mass and transparency have been the focus of many of my sculptural investigations. These formal concerns inform the symbolic content of my work, which often involves the search for something archetypal, innate, and universal. It is my feeling that these qualities are relevant in the depiction of human striving and our shared lived experience.” Foster Willey is a sculptor and public artist who maintains his studio in Detroit, MI. He is a new comer to the Detroit Art scene having just moved to the Motor City with his wife, Valerie, an affiliate of the College for Creative Studies. Foster has participated in numerous design settings including large-scale projects for major municipalities. His professional affiliations include architects, engineers, landscape architects, lighting designers, fabricators, historians, graphic designers, and conservators. Originally from St. Joseph, Michigan, Foster received a B.F.A. from Grand Valley State University in painting and sculpture. He expanded his education with courses at Michigan State University and Andrews University where his mentor was British Sculptor, Allan Collins. Foster also attended the Naguib School of Sculpture in Chicago where he worked with Egyptian sculptor, Mustafa Naguib. Upon relocating to Minneapolis in 1988, Foster was commissioned by the City of Minneapolis to create The Leaders Wall, a series of fifty life-size bronze portraits of community activists that are integrated into the 4th Ave Bridge along the Green Line...
