I create ”tableau vivant” sculpture as a way to create scenes imagined of people, escaping into their world as I reproduce it in 1:5 scale
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
That’s such a hard question to answer, but I would say anything that transforms as I do it. I so love seeing something that I didn’t think was going to work out, change into something that turned out to be better than my original vision.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in people everywhere. Watching people - how they interact with the world around them. I think one can learn a great deal about someone just by seeing how they move around the world. It helps me with my sculpture because I’m trying to create a feeling rather than just a visual scene.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put money into my website because right now. I know that it’s lacking. I admit to not being much of a computer person, so my digital footprint isn’t as large as it could and should be.
