Stories of heroes and myths have been at the heart of humanity from the beginning of recorded history. The heroes we choose, through the features that characterize them (courage, kindness, honor, justice, tenacity, bravery, etc) define, to a great extent, our own ideals. Drawing inspiration from fairytales, poetry and prose, we will attempt to find, cre-ate and convey, through sculpture, our own fantastic Heroes.
Which hero is hiding behind the words? What would happen if I added a hero into a story that didn't have one?
And if a hero doesn't have a definite form, but is, instead, an idea open to interpretation, how can we use our imagination to create our own, personal heroes? In January, we will seek inspiration in the works of Oscar Wilde and Georgios Vizyinos, exploring heroes-in-development, who take shape along the way and ultimately become heroes in absentia.
Based on these models and using different media each time, we will attempt to convey our own heroic figures and forms in sculpture. We will follow techniques such as carving into malleable solid materials, collage and assemblage, etc, and, through this creative process, we will express our personal viewpoint on how we interpret and imagine the words taking form and the forms taking shape to create a new, three-dimensional narra-tive, a sculptural construction.
