Imagine if you will the issues confronting a carnosaur in touch with his sensitive side.

Joseph has created the first sculpture in his new series Man and the Environment. The first sculpture called "La Ria" (the estuary) went to the foundry in mid March. In this artwork the sculptor is interested in the beauty and the angst in the boundary between nature and humanity.

Artist’s Statement:
I am easily seduced by dance. The human body in rhythm and movement continues to inspire me as a subject for my sculpture. I begin my work by photographing dancers. I encourage the dancer to move and pose spontaneously, and I offer direction. Once I’ve captured an inspiring movement on film, I work from both the photos and a live model to portray the form and spirit of the moment.

Clocks are my specialty. I think of them as sculptures that happen to tell time. Doing a clock gives me an enormous freedom of form, and I love the way the moving part (all my clocks have pendulums) calls attention to the artpiece . The mechanisms used run with a AA battery which generally lasts one to two years.

The art I create focuses on personal struggle. An individual caught in a moment of intense emotion.
I capture the expression with the entire body, paying special attention to the features of the face. I want the viewer to be drawn in by the overall beauty from afar, and then captivated by the details when they step closer.
