I was invited to Vallauris, France, to be part of the A.I.R. artist in residency program.With
permission and support from the city architects, and the blessing
from the mayor of Vallauris, I am creating a public art sculpture
for the city, and the residency.The sculpture titled "Renaissance
Man" is a ceramic relief sculpture. The sculpture will stand 10
feet tall and be installed on a wall in a beautiful square two
blocks from where Picasso and Chagall worked in the 1950s.The
"Renaissance Man" is a man playing both accordion and football with
his dog along for the ride-Themes relatable to both the local and
national culture.French poetry patches embelish his pants-a
contribution from Rae Dunn, with hair by Whitney Smith.
