Lillith
By Rosalind Cook, Installed 2000
A strong design and composition is the key to a successful sculpture. My work is most recognized by the faces and the flowing forms of my sculptures. My goal is to capture the spirit of my subject, be it joyful, peaceful, animated, etc. I see my sculptures as a way to communicate with a viewer and hopefully celebrate the human spirit with them.”
Children, religious figures, peoples of varied cultures and races are prominent subjects of my bronze sculptures. The varieties of these subjects constantly challenge me as an artist.
Often I build symbolism into a sculpture to enhance its meaning. For example, my children are almost always barefooted which symbolizes their unencumbered and innocent spirits. If the sculpture is commissioned for a specific business, church, or organization, the sculpture will reflect their particular mission statement in obvious content and in symbolism.
