Julia S. Rasor - Artist Statement
“Figurative sculpture satisfies an intense drive to connect through the ‘people’ I create. I am drawn to the vast expressive possibilities the human figure elicits and explore a continuum of styles from representational ‘natural’ to abstract ‘mechanical’ figures.
My life experiences formed my nature / machine style dichotomy - riding horses / motorcycle racing; fluid body movement of ballroom dance / martial arts’ machine-like positions; gliding motion on a paddleboard / explosive strength of rock climbing - these experiences along with my life-long profession of medical device invention (patents of machines to aid the body, www.MedicalDevice.com) established my expressive dichotomic style.”
