"Men Hir"
Steatite Sculpture
26" x 18" x 9" |
Paul Braun draws inspiration for his
sculptures from ancient constructions and mystical carvings such as
Stonehenge, New Grange, and Knowth.
Experiencing these structures in person
guided him to develop a body of work combining age-old concepts with
contemporary forms.
"I feel that sculpture is about
creating form in which the artist exhibits control, balance and mystery. I
enjoy working in the abstract because it allows me the freedom to explore the
material; it offers the opportunity to highlight the natural beauty of the
stone in unique ways.”
These sculptures express an intrinsic
passage, one that is simultaneously ancient and alive.
