In Loving Memory of Patsy… Feelings

I have been thinking about all of the posthumous sculpture that I have done over the years, and the feelings that have accompanied each sculpture. They are all different. With Ellie I felt like she was my student, but even though she was only 7 years old I also felt like she was my contemporary in art. Casey, felt evasive, when I sculpted him. Kipper felt formal and cordial. I could go on, each sculpture, each person leaving a residual of a feeling. With Patsy I feel hmmm. It is hard to explain. I feel very close, like she is a mother figure. The love of children and grandchildren feels so strong.

It is funny. I don’t even know Patsy, but I miss her.
