“SOLO” chronicles an exploration of the human figure, its relation to the space around it, its individuality, and ultimately its solitude.<\/p>\n

“Up until very recently my interest has centered on form and figure, an awareness of the positive internal push on the surface which indicates life. Pieces are modeled in clay and I am always aware of the growing of the form. They are representational but the positive curves are always slightly exaggerated. Moldmaking has extended the creative process in two ways. Three dimensional curved planes are allowed to extend into space. And I can choose parts of the original to include or not, reducing the form, allowing the imagination to complete the original. Sometimes areas have been added. So far this has put the piece into a more romantic mode but one which is in contrast to the negative spaces, and the lost forms and edges suggesting not the ascendancy of the individual but eventual loss of our entire form.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have an abiding interest in portraiture. Only through form and the eye’s curiosity and the minds imagination as it is drawn around a piece can we engage with someone not there and feel a presence. I have also always enjoyed the richness of variation in the forms making up the head.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Currently I am exploring other media while furthering my interest in capturing the human form and spirit.” Peter Shoebridge<\/p>\n
