Sculpture, especially in the magical size of two to six feet tall, is designed to interact with the viewer in a unique and special way. They are too large and heavy to easily move around, so they demand not only a certain permanent physical space, but also a respect of their presence.
This art entity asks for both attention and communication just as a person would while in your presence. And just as with a friend, the attention you give is returned to you with interest. Over the years the depth of understanding and appreciation continues to grow until this art presence becomes a member of the family, in effect, an old cherished friend.
Choosing a sculpture for the home should be handled the same way you choose your friends. A new friendship seldom happens as a result of a premeditated intention, but rather as a result of chemical, emotional and intellectual stimulation. You nurture friendship because it feels right, challenges and stimulates you. What better reason for having a long term relationship with art.
