| Artist Statement | Much like team sports, my work requires effort of the group in order to realize a goal greater than would be possible alone. Many other artists contributed selflessly to the success of this piece, most notably Ken Clarke of Vancouver, B.C., who sculpted the original clay model from which the final moulds were made. With this work I hoped to share with the viewer my passion for the fascinating optical properties of this material and to create an artwork that would be specific to and enhance the space it is in. If you find something marvelous or interesting in this work then I have been successful. (Courtney, 1991) |
