David
Finn has worked as a sculptor for since 1982 when he began making small
child -size bodies from newspaper and placing them in evocative installations
called Newspaper Children. Masked Figures, life-sized figures made of
refuse materials and wearing painted masks, were developed in New York
in the 1980's in part as a response to the wealth and poverty of everyday
life there. Since moving to Winston-Salem in 1987 the artist's material
vocabulary expanded to include ceramics, steel, wood, wax, stone and
plastics. In 1999, after a visit to Vermont, Finn began Ghosts, a series
of shoes carved in marble. |
