Kings and Other Lords

Battle King
Caesar
Some motifs reappear in my work.  Given that my previous professions didn't include much figurative work and among the few figures, the 'King' motif was non-existent, it appears to have found an outlet in my found object sculptures.

Carl Jung, father of modern psychoanalysis might say I am exploring the archetype.

As each figure develops, a title emerges, sometimes early, sometimes just before completion.

In these four, it might have been the inherent posture of the figures that led to their regal titles.  We respond to posture, bearing and clothing.


Neptune

Shogun
