Leigh Witchel Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I saw this sculptor's work at an outdoor festival in Lincoln Center and it seemed apropos. We spoke a bit, he uses photographs rather than live models, and they're modern dancers (he prefers that physique for sculpture) Enjoy! Michael Gard Link to comment
grace Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 there are some inspirational dance sculptures, including ballet - actually they are bronzes - by a lady named maggie parker, who lives in colorado. she used to be a ballet dancer, and now is a pilates instructor, as well as an artist. here is her website: http://www.maggieparkersculpture.com/index.html i recommend waiting long enough to let the images load, on the gallery page, as these dancers really have a sense of movement about them, a lovely free spirit - while still being anatomically and technically acceptable, to those of us who care about such things! i love these bronzes and would like to have something similar in my fantasy garden, which would be like tom merrifield's - now there's ANOTHER ballet sculptural artist to love the work of!

grace Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 definitely interesting: the woven wire, in contrasting colours...are they all male figures? it looks that way. Link to comment
Leigh Witchel Posted July 14, 2003 Author Share Posted July 14, 2003 Grace, as I recall, they were all female (breasts, hips). There's just no hair depicted. Link to comment
grace Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 they were all female -NOT the ones i just looked at, at the website...no. the bumps were definitely in a different place. Link to comment
Victoria Leigh Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Nope, definitely not all female! Quite a few males, but there are some females too. B) Link to comment
Doris R Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Thanks for sharing this Leigh. And yes, I see both men and women. Unfortunately with my budget this will be the only place I see them. I also enjoyed looking at the Maggie Parker site. Thank you Grace. Link to comment
