Jennine Parker Sculpture

The stories behind Jennine’s arresting bronze figures are firmly rooted in her own life; for her, the sculpture is not a new departure, but relates back to her childhood and has given her the freedom to express her personal experience. Between the ages of 7 and 21 dance and gymnastics were an important part of her life, and taking the energy and grace of the dancer or gymnast as her starting point she creates masterly evocations of movement and personality. Each piece goes through a lengthy process which begins with Jennine hand-building and carving and ends in the foundry where it undergoes that amazing transition from clay to bronze - the final evolution of the creative process.
