This is is a new experimental piece incorporating a detail image from an earlier sculpture. The figures are in motion, unfrozen by camera or memory, living within and below the surface. To me this subject matter illustrates that very human feeling of having a tenuous grasp on your given situation. You have your hand on it now but at any moment the tables could turn and the beast is controlling you before you even realize it has happened. Then, just as quickly you manage to regain your footing and your grasp....but for how long?
