Technocratic Head II, 1988
cast bronze
15.5 x 9 x 10 in

The “Technocratic Head” series represent my fascination with man’s integration with technology of the future. The dark patina, often in contrast to a polished helmet, represents man and machine. In conjunction with this, I wanted to create powerful and spiritual images with the strength of the historical Benin bronze heads of the culture of West Africans.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
