Bone Form IV was inspired by a piece of bone whose natural curves suggested the beginnings of a human figure.

As I developed the piece, I became interested in expressing the idea of inner strength — the quiet courage, determination and resilience that we all carry within us, often unseen by others.

I wanted the figure to have a gentle sense of upward movement, with flowing lines, suggesting both strength and vulnerability.

As you move around the sculpture, its character changes. From some angles it appears slender and delicate, while from others it feels fuller and more grounded.

For me, Bone Form IV is about the strength we all possess, even if it’s not always obvious.
