“Emancipate I" was my first
large-scale outdoor sculpture. The images below show different views of the piece as it was installed on the beach at
Sculpture Key West 2009. It is approximately 16’ tall and is made of fiberglass and resin over wire mesh forms
and supported by a steel armature. This piece was inspired by my memories of living on
the Outer Banks in North Carolina, watching the dolphins jumping through the waves with care-free joy an dthe birds diving
effortlessly into the blue-green vastness. For me these images represent freedom and liberation. The constraints of life
can sometimes be overwhelming and our self-impossed constraints can further limit ourperception of freedom. For me, this
sculpture represents the release from the social and internal limits in which we subscribe.
