Sculptures :
Before beginning iconography I had been a full-time
sculptor. It was in fact the search for ways
of expressing in sculpture the spiritual nature
of the human person that led me to discover
the icon tradition. Since 1983, apart from relief
icon carvings, I have not done much sculpting
in the round.
Recently however, while remaining committed
to iconography as my main work, I have become
interested in taking up again the task of exploring
ways in which sculpted heads can suggest the
divine image of God in man. Such works are not
liturgical in function, but can play a role
in the larger world of suggesting something
of the spiritual dignity of the human person.
