MODERN SCULPTURE

CAROL KREEGER DAVIDSON

The approach of my work is depicting ancient myths, transforming them into abstract figures which updates them into a modern context. Ancient myths were abstraction of truths. The formal essence of my work is the combining of the geometric and the organic. The reintegration of nature and culture is the task of our time.The formal problem with which each series of sculpture is how to enclose vertically the largest volume of space without too much loss of mass and weight. By creating enough emptiness I can resurrect forms within the cavity.I am interested in human secrets, the tension between the mysterious interior space and the encircling skin of the outer surfac. I choose bronze for its historical figural resonance and the aluminum for its lightness. This directness of process allows me to evolve a new figure sculpture for our own time.
