Works on Canvas - 3D Peoplescape
I first conceived of this technique over twenty years ago, combining my love for sculpting and painting. Experiencing the characters come to life is thrilling to me, and the third dimension has supplied a valuable tool for integrating the social message with the painting's overall design and form. My decision to transform an oil on canvas Peoplescape into a 3D painting is intuitive and often not part of the original conception. Once I break the plane of the canvas, I selectively incorporate sculpture, found and created objects, fabric, and paper as the narrative unfolds.
