sculpture

Description

A sculpture is the act of chiseling cold stone or inert metal into the avatar of the artist’s ego. In silence it forces an air of highbrow sophistication and wields the intimidation of sheer mass. The atelier, filled with swirling stone dust, feigns artistic sanctity while secretly waging war on the lungs. An object granted form drags viewers into endless interpretation and debate. Across time and cultures, sculpture endures as the most stubborn art form where aesthetic desire and displays of power collide.
