Staff Pick of the Month:
“Idolo 2003” by William Morris
Here are our reasons for choosing this as our pick of the month:
MARY CHILDS, GALLERY ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR:
“This piece is one of the most mystical figures created in Morris’
‘Idolo’ series so far.
It appears to have its own breath, life and spirituality, hinting at the ‘eternal internal’ of humankind.”
JIM SCHANTZ, GALLERY CO-DIRECTOR:
“This Idolo figure, which has strong Pre-Columbian undertones, evokes
a gentle and tranquil spirit. While it is one of Morris’ most
spiritually powerful pieces, it also represents the height of the
technical mastery in his work.”
KENN HOLSTEN, GALLERY OWNER-DIRECTOR:
“Our Staff Pick for this issue, ‘Idolo 2003’ by William Morris, is a
majestic and imposing piece. It is difficult to conceive of the fact
that this amazing work was blown and shaped from molten glass! This
piece is prototypical of Morris’ best work, in that it captures a
feeling which transcends our day to day reality, and puts us in touch
with a more primordial part of ourselves.”
