"This bronze piece explores the motion and flicker of a burning flame. Not unlike the heated emotions, and ever changing feelings and physical symptoms caused by the current pandemic. We as a country have experienced so much in the past year, it is no wonder we feel a bit feverish or hot headed!
Encountering my world through art has been my lifelong interest. As a child, I’d pass the time hovered over sketchpads and canvases. Later, I attended college for a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, which led to my established career as an artist in the advertising industry. All the while, I’ve been inspired by my surroundings, creating things and exploring new materials. Through this exploration, I’ve found stone and wood to be my favorite media, making three-dimensionality my focus. The sculptures I create are inspired by nature and the amazing world that surrounds us. Exploring and interpreting the movement and shape of creatures and plant-life in an abstracted and simplified manner drives much of my work." - Helen Carpiaux
