Over half of the sculptures presented are with private
collectors or in schools and churches.
If you are interested in a piece, you must contact me. Maybe you are lucky, or I might be
persuaded to make a similar one. |
For over half a century I have managed to function as a Priest ‑ Sculptor. It is no surprise, therefore, that I treat
my sculpting as an apostolate with the specific purpose of making Jesus
Christ more meaningful to those who see my work. For instance, as a Priest I am often
dealing with people in their physical or mental suffering. They sometimes ask, “does suffering make
any sense?” This is where the example
of Jesus is so powerful. To me, in my Western culture, suffering and redemption make
better sense in a fully human Jesus who accepts being victimized in utter
vulnerability. In making this complete
surrender, he indeed becomes the Incarnation of God’s love. In my art I want to touch the unconditional realness of his humanness,
and I use the emotional impact of ordinariness, such as nakedness, genuine
pain, even impulsiveness of character. |
