“Traditionally, cast bronze sculpture is a closed, metal shell presenting an outside surface shaped into a symbolic configuration. However, when that shell is opened and visually apparent, exposing both inside and outside surfaces, the role of the shell grows in significance. Technique and symbol seem to fuse. The shoreline of separation becomes the seam line of unity; the mountain is the valley; the suggestion of what will be is the trace left as evidence of what was.” — Marian Jacob
