December 1990. Granite, steel. Dimensions: 28 × 48 × 16 in (71 × 122 × 41 cm).
Pes is the Latin word for "foot". Anatomy: Defines the foot or footlike structure of humans and four-legged animals.
Pes combines rough granite with forged steel forms suggesting a tool or mechanical implement. The natural and industrial materials interact through weight, leverage, and balance, giving the sculpture a strong sense of physical action.
The title Pes, Latin for “foot,” reinforces this bodily association. The tool-like steel becomes an extension of the body, reflecting my continuing interest in tools and implements as metaphors for human labor and ingenuity.
