Before I forget, if you are in Indianapolis August 1st (5pm to 9pm), please come by the free Smaller Indiana Elegant Funk exhibit at 1125 Brookside Avenue Suite C7, Indianapolis, IN 46202. Call 317-270-8258 for more info (Google map link). I will have my "Transcendent" piece (below) on display and I will be around for conversation the whole evening. I would enjoy seeing you there!

In my last post I described how I got to the Rebirth sculpture. In this message I want to share with you several concept videos that lead up to the Rebirth.

One of my first concepts started along the thinking of "We are not alone". God is with us … holding us throughout our lives through birth to death, and death to rebirth.

Another concept was that of a reclining form would of a being enveloped by the skin from another standing figure, exuding life, energy, tenderness and love.

After doing some research on ancient rebirth sculptures, I found a crude image of a six inch carved stone sculpture buried in a hypogeum burial chamber in Sardinia. The following video is based on that Sardinian piece.

In the small model, the female figure is very tranquil, graceful, and peaceful and is very gentle and yet strong.

The final piece is cast in bronze and patinated in French patina and is about 6 feet tall. When completed the sculpture will rest on a mahogany granite base.

I believe meaningful artwork is a message from the soul, one that reflects the beauty and divinity within us.

Enjoy! And see you soon at the Smaller Indiana Elegant Funk exhibit.
