About the Item

In the bronze "Stepper II," a young woman steps forward both deliberately and with caution, entering life as she is still creating herself, gathering strength and assurance. The painterly patina accentuates the way Stewart alternates between using detailed likeness and letting features fall away: everything is resolved, but nothing concluded. The bronze sculpture, edition #3 of 5, stands 52 inches high, and comes with the custom, 21.5 inch high steel stand as shown in the main image. Judith Stewart completed extensive training in painting and sculpture after receiving her BFA from Syracuse University and her MFA from the University of Illinois. While teaching painting at the University of West Florida, Stewart earned a grant to study in Italy, where she began painting sculptures from antiquity. Her preoccupation with observing three-dimensional form affirmed her true interest in sculpture. After moving to Arizona in 1991, Stewart began working predominantly in wax for cast bronzes, and most recently has begun exploring the qualities of clay.

Moxie Step It
By Dan Corbin
Located in Napa, CA
bauxite, sheet metals, shale, oxides, acrylic paints Dan Corbin's sculptures are a convergence of conceptualism and the human figure, illuminating what it feels like to be alive during current times, with all its beauty, complexity, contradictions, and possibilities. The artist’s sculptures address issues of contemporary society - materialism, industrialization and cultural change - while simultaneously referring to a wide range of human emotions. His sculptures lift the spirit while questioning what it is to be human. In Corbin’s archetype of man, intellect and soul are separate from the body. Armless, headless, anonymous cores can now be broken down to the smallest units, analyzed, engineered, beautified, and commodified. Corbin’s articulation of figurative sculpture takes iconography of the present and embeds it in the surface of his sculptures. He calls these miniature time capsules ‘inclusions’. Objects like cosmetic bottles, action figures, dolls, and feeder fish are sealed in resin and strategically embedded throughout the body. With these ‘inclusions’ the figure becomes a technologically enhanced vessel. The human body is no longer a container for a perfect being, handed down by god or evolution, but an aesthetically enhanced harbinger of a new era. In combination with the ‘inclusions’ Corbin uses a multitude of industrial materials, emphasizing the intrinsic value and physical properties of each. Each surface becomes fully charged with content, primed for multiple interpretations. Dan Corbin has been included in notable exhibitions at galleries and institutions including the Museum of Northern California Art...
