SECRET OBSESSIONS

As we grow up, we all develop a necessary self-protective façade, a face or persona that we present to the world. But, obviously, this persona is only a part of who we are.
Consider all the other darker feelings, conflicts and less desirable impulses that are contained within us but not visible to others.

“Secret Obsessions” is a series of bronze sculptures in which I play with the concepts of persona, shame, loss, and exposure. The images emerged quite spontaneously
but in making these forms, I’ve then tried to capture a distorted, sometimes humorous, but always faithful depiction of human character and experience; as in a dream
when someone appears strange but recognizable, usually because some essence or private obsession is exposed. There is no doubt that working with people for three decades
as a clinical psychologist has influenced these images and ideas.
