‘Return’ Sculpture Captures The Fear And Strength In Returning To Our lives During The Pandemic
“Return” new sculpture created by Arizona artist Sean T French
captures both the fear and the strength of those who are fighting to return to their lives during
this crisis. “Most of my sculpture attempts to exude a timeless
quality and are often creatures, amalgams of world
myth and imagination. This new sculpture is different .
Although it shares the timeless armor metaphor with
most of my sculpture, this piece is about our current
time.”
Instead of a creature this piece depicts a
contemporary human wearing armor that is both
metaphorical and literal in reference to our wearing
masks and face shields/protective gear to enter our
now unsafe environment. This figure is crossing a
plane, entering or returning to an unknown and unsafe
space, as too many of must do in these present crisis
days.
“I hope this piece does not become timeless as I hope
my others do. I very much hope it will only refer to this
moment in the future, not represent our new world.”
The crisis hit while French was working on a large
piece in his creature series…
“As the crisis grew I saw friends, family and people in
media have to don their “armor”….I was inspired by
their strength and felt a call for my style & it’s allegory
to depict us in this moment.
“Return” is approx human sized, mounts on wall
space 55”x24”. Constructed from various metals
formed, cast and highly polished
