Pygmalion

Dedicated to Richard McDermott Miller (1922-2004)

The inspiration for this piece came to me as I was modeling for Richard McDermott Miller, the Figurative Sculptor of SoHo. Posing for hours gave me much to think about re-telling the myth of Pygmalion. I was stirred by the mysterious sculptures as they stood still and the timeless idea of maker and his creation. What might happen if the creation is no longer tied to its maker?
