The sculptors profiled
in this issue of Sculpture look toward influences that range from
ancient cultures to the most futuristic elements of our contemporary world.
Both Sook Jin Jo and Ming Fay, in very different ways, look toward China,
which boasts the most ancient continuous tradition on earth. Montien Boonma
examined the contemporary relevance of Buddhism, a tradition born in India
but reaching the artist through his own Thai culture. Beverly Pepper combines
influences from classical Europe, from ancient Cambodia, and from recent
history. Pedro Cabrita Reis examines some of the most primitive yet contemporary
impulses of the human conditionto build and to dwell. And Rona Pondick
looks at the human race itself, in relation to (and combination with)
the whole of the animal kingdom. These and other artists covered in this
issue demonstrate both the range and the depth of contemporary art, in
the reach of their thinking and the scope of their sculptural work. This
range and power is demonstrated in work ranging from Joan Miró
to Mowry Baden, from Houston to Peru, and from earthworks to snow sculpture.
