This piece was from the period when I created standing figures in clay working from live models. These three women were friends, students at SUNY Purchase, and enjoyed working together to develop their respective poses and the overall composition. The piece derives from three specific art-historical references, fused into something contemporary. The first, from the title, is from a long tradition of Three Graces sculptures...
