FORMS OF ENDEARMENT


            "Forms of Endearment" is my statement about love. Most artists in depicting "love" place the emphasis on its sexual aspect. Sex is only a facet of love. "Love" as a term means so much more than a synonym for sex. Love is safe. Love is friendship taken to its highest level. Love is an old pair of shoes, it's like the blanket, doll or teddy bear that as a child, we could not part. Love is a warm fire and a good book on a cold rainy night. Love is trust, patience, and benevolence.

The title word "Forms," was used, as would be constructive forms that contain, secure, or bridge. These forms were constructed to contain the expression of love as a permanent structure. The male, larger figure signifies strength, his position expresses safety and tenderness without dominance. The female's position conveys harmony without being subordinate. The enfolded hands of both figures completes the wreath of love's expression.

Bronze, approx. 14-1/2" high, 12" wide. Limited Edition of 200.
