This Sunday’s drawing at the Whit was really fun. A rare treat to have two experienced models working together. And yes, drawing two models is more than twice as hard because you have two capture both figures and the relationship between them.

Their casual intimacy was really beautiful.

I was inspired for a number of sculpture ideas. Most of my figurative work is solitary individuals. I like the idea of a series of intimate, romantic–but not necessarily erotic figures together. One of my all-time favorite sculptures is the Rape of Proserpina by Bernini. The technical and emotional detail is exquisite. Unfortunately, as beautiful as the sculpture is, the canonization of rape is not my forte.

I would love to create sculpture that celebrates the intimacy love. More like Rodin’s, ‘The Kiss’.
