James Shoop

Creating sculptures that inspires, excites and results in a emotional response drives my process. Being a traditional sculptor I use my hands, a few tools and a vision, manipulating clay and wax forming each sculpture. Through years of working at my families foundry I am able to execute all phases of casting and finishing of each bronze sculpture. Allowing each one to have a uniqueness throughout the edition. Having a story to tell, with the use of subject and movement I have been able to create sculpture that has breath and engages the viewer. Paying attention to detail and composition each piece has an unique view from all sides and lets ones imagination build. Through sculpture I strive to enhance the space it inhabits, solidifying a presence that is memorable.
