SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK 10/24/11

I wanted to share a bit about my sculpture "The Logic Master" with all of you. It is cast in bronze atop  a rough-cut onyx base. The inspiration came when I was traveling in Mexico and studied the history of the Mayan people. This colorful, ancient and sometimes brutal culture used the locations of their naturally occurring deep wells or “cenotes”, to judge and punish their “politically incorrect” victims by throwing them to their death. This fellow is the 'decision maker'.  He is patinaed with a deep red wax burnish to bring out the high emotion of the moment.
