He doesn't clutter his work too much either. His figures do have a sense of facelessness, timelessness and mystery. That last one reminds me of the wicker man in the film of the same name.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095469968246647873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-35175060020338656032009-06-30T08:47:30.443-07:002009-06-30T08:47:30.443-07:00You collection of image choices have done justice ...You collection of image choices have done justice to this gifted artist Robyn.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17354988177818684597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-41633856678015810792009-06-29T22:15:34.757-07:002009-06-29T22:15:34.757-07:00Wow, I love these pieces, all of them!
