Fine Art Sculpture
The model poses nude, but on this occasion the intricate pattern in her hair obscures her nudity – such is the enchantment of the braided locks of “Braided Nude”.
An edition of Braided Nude may still be available from E & S Gallery, Louisville, KY
Boxed in, but…
Are you pushing against walls that restrict you
Or caressing walls that protect you?
Boxed in, but…
Are the walls constructed by others to imprison you
Or built by you to hide from the world?
Boxed in, but…
Are you climbing over the walls
Or finding comfort within them?
Beware, the walls may become a familiar enemy—close in—and crush your will to risk, to explore, to love, to be loved, to give or receive.

Children of the heavenly Father safely in his bosom gathered. Nestling bird nor star in heaven such a refuge e’er was given.
Caroline V. Sandell-Berg, 1855
It only takes a moment to see that the woman or man begging for your coins could be you, but by the grace of God. This sculpture was inspired by a beggar in a piazza of Florence, Italy; yet she could be in any city.
