Bio

The act of making art results in a relationship between artist and work. In this series, "Sculpture/Sculptor", this premise is explored, in pursuit of a synthesis of artist and work. The artist becomes one with the art. Flesh and metal are juxtaposed as the artist interacts with the sculpture. The models are myself and my assistants. The camera is the tool which captures the moment of impact between form and figure. Light and shadow play a fundamental role in defining the 3-dimensional quality of the work and shadow itself becomes an element in the composition of the finished print. Fine art photography and sculpture are opposite forms of expression. The the combination of such opposites, many emotions can be open for interpretation. This series attempts to capture different moods, the intimacy of the relationship between the artist and his work and emotions from the classical figure to a contemporary whim. The relationship has come full circle. Artist and work form a new dimension. Steve Jensen Steve Jensen has been a working artist for over 45 years.
