Free Online Talk · More Alive than the Living: Statue Making as Willing Spirit into Matter: A Sculptor’s Superstition and a Timeless Ritual Practice with Sculptor Eleanor Crook

FREE! Learn more and RSVP HERE

In premodern times, statues were created as vessels a deity or consciousness might like to enter into, to assume an earthly presence. Tonight, join Eleanor Crook, sculptor and medical artist, as she discusses how this ambition, though lost in the Enlightenment, can be revisited by makers for poetic reasons. She will share her secret motivations and techniques for bringing her own effigies, wax and bronze, towards the lifelike.
