Art Showcase: Union Sculpture

Art Showcase: Union Sculpture - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. This piece is called Union. It is about marriage, in a very simple sense, but it is really more about commitment to anything. But in the sense of marriage, the bride and the groom. The bride has a little thing going on on the side over here. I am not sure if that is a bridesmaid or maybe a side lover, or something, not what it is. A lot of drama in most people’s lives. The groom has a religious element. I use religion in my work a lot. I feel that we have been ruled by religion for a long time, and so it is in our very roots, even if we are not religious, ourselves in particular. So, I think it is valid in anyone's life in one form or another. So, I do not know what saint that is, because it does not matter for the piece. And yes, that is a tub stopper on his head. So, I try and add humor, again, into an element or a connectedness that has some humor to it. The bride has a scorpion-like tail. So, she is looking very lovely, but she is got a lot of baggage behind her, a lot of issues to deal with, as the groom does, too. So, both of them bring this together in their union, and hopefully they work it out.
