Simplicity of Form:
A Conversation Between Sculptor and Material
by Nina Costanza
Simplicity of form, a fundamental principle of art, represents cohesiveness between sculptor and material. The sculptors we encounter in this article—Isabel Case Borgatta, Lorrie Goulet, José de Creeft, Béla Bácsi, John Edward Svenson, Tom Silveroli, Tim Cherry, and Betty Branch—are often influenced by archetypes—mythology, nature, Roman/Greek classicism, Egyptian/Mayan traditions. Each artist indicates an organic relationship to the medium, allowing the composition an eloquence that bares the artist’s personal intention—viscerally and spiritually.
