Massachusetts College of Art - Boston, MA, 1990 B.F.A Illinois State University - Bloomington, IL, My sculpture focuses exclusively on the human figure. While abstracting the form, I am able to emphasize the essence of gesture, gender and of other human characteristics. The pieces vary from small-scale figures to my recent life-size sculptures. By pairing or grouping the figures, I attempt to explore familial and generational relationships, which I hope speak to the viewer as both personal narrative and universal construct. I begin by choosing stones, often found in natural habitats. I frequently visit the same sites over a period of years, as the pieces evolve. I also visit several quarries where I am able to sift through the rubble for stones. I try to gather both the head and the torso stone from the same site for consistency of color and texture.With the use of wax molds, I am able to cast glass to fit the stones. The glass shapes the rest of the figure, in a very organic sense, much like ice. The translucent quality of the glass is activated best by natural sunlight and in this way the figures are given their spirit or soul. I believe the pieces are contemporary and timeless in the same moment. Thomas Scoon
