About 2020

For sculptor R. Clarke Ellis this abstract piece expresses the tumultuous time the world endured beginning in 2020. Hand-forged from steel, a human-like figure painted black stands, arms raised toward its head; the face a perfect mirror allows the viewer to see themselves in this emotional state.

“The interaction (internal dialogue) between the sculpture and the spectator becomes at once personal and universal.” Clarke Ellis
