Description

GENESIS was created in the fall of 2018 utilizing old-world bronze casting techniques in Pietrasanta Italy. This piece is a contemporary statement connecting to the ancient story about the origins of humanity. The contrast of the smooth surface against the staccato of the textured form and the burnished bronze and turquoise patina echo eternal colors and patterns found in nature. The apple is a metaphor for a loss of innocence and the security of living in a peaceful world.

Genesis was also shown in an exhibit in “Baltimore Ekphrastic Art.” (Ekphrastic poetry has come to be defined as poems written about works of art).
