As the figures I sculpt develop, there appears an opportunity for a second face. This is either the 'other' side of the piece's intent or in the case of mythical characters, the other half of the partnership.
One of my earliest pieces was 'Returning Soldier'. The reverse side of this piece portrays a foreign casualty of the war or it can be argued, a 'partnership' that grew out of the war.
Sometime later, I made Neptune with Amphitrite, his wife.
Just last week I created 'Angel'. As an abstract (to me) figure, the other side of this sculpture seems to represent some other form of the angelic, perhaps the animal side.
