Dance

I have been experimenting with representations of dance in my work. Dance is as old as humanity.  It is intrinsic to how humans behave – if permitted – on special occasions and in everyday life. Dance is powerfully represented in sculpture, making the most of 3-dimensionality and elevation.  And while dance sculpture makes strong references to the human body, it is often most persuasive when used not as static representations of physical presences but as images seeking to convey emotion and pathos.  As such, the rubric ‘dance’ includes a range of movements, including walking and falling, which are now fully integrated within the repertoire of contemporary dance forms.
