This is the beginning of another Man sculpture. I have had the idea for a while. I want to do
several different versions and play around with the ideas I started working with in earlier
sculptures. In Hang, (see below) I was trying to show the figure from the inside as well as the
outside - at the same time. I posed him upside-down and bound to the wood backing to
elude to the idea that we all tie ourselves up with things and are bound in some way. I was
feeling trapped at the time I created Hang. I no longer feel trapped, but I am still interested
in the way we hold our selves back from things - purposefully or not...
