"Untitled"

I was deeply moved by this piece when I first encountered it in 1993, during my time as an apprentice to the sculptor Jonathan Bickart. The connection I felt to the work was immediate and profound—it stirred something in me that I couldn’t ignore. So much so, that while working for Jonathan, I asked if I could put my earnings toward acquiring the sculpture instead of receiving a traditional paycheck. It was more than just a piece of art to me—it was a symbol of the kind of creative life I aspired to build. To this day, it continues to inspire me, serving as both a touchstone and a compass, constantly guiding me back to the core of what drives my artistic journey: inspiration, dedication, and emotional truth.
