Sins of Man    

sinsofman.jpg (30643 bytes)
Possibly, this is my personal all time favorite sculpture.   I  had always worried that this piece would be misunderstood, but surprisingly reviewers seem to nail it.

      

I chose a female body builder for this piece because I wanted to show “woman” as a powerful force in the world.  Unfortunately, in our testosterone-driven society, “woman” remains shackled and bound like a bird in a gilded cage.

         

The gilded crown of thorns was done as an afterthought.

       

Who else in society is as willing to sacrifice of  themselves as “woman”?

 

Who else is as Christ-like?
