Rescue Series Sculpture Development

The Rescue Series is based on the idea of bringing to light the very real problem of slavery and oppression happening globally. Switchfoot sings, “The Shadow Proves the Sunshine”. You can’t have shadows without light. This series focuses on the darkness and tragedy of slavery and the light of hope for freedom that people who refuse to be silent can bring.

My previous series, Freedom, was a 2-D print series, while Rescue will be a 3-D sculpture series that utilizes light to cast shadow. The first small scale sculpture of “Fly Away” is being developed.

This is the first stage concept art. The second stage art of this and two other pieces in the series is shown at http://artagainstoppression.com. In my mind the final piece will be close to life size and will be built as a cell viewed into from a front view.
