Modeling From Life - Figurative Sculputure
LEA ANN COGSWELL
Modeling from life, my sculptures tend toward the reflective and introspective. The fact that I am a figurative sculptor, working in traditional materials and methods, reflects an appreciation of old ways, solid and tested; while the sculptures themselves, often express feelings we share living in a time like no other. We are confronted by more knowledge and life choices than any other people in human history. I try to capture a sense of the unique burden we carry, and that vulnerable, private world in which we can begin to rediscover a sense of dignity and respect for life. Without idealizing, I seek an honest characterization of my subjects. The sculptures retain the spontaneity and energy of the creative process. They are available in a variety of materials and lend themselves well to bronze casting.
