Starting with clay, wax, lead and found objects Alan sculpts spirit, emotional states, sensuality, primal forces, moments of truth.  His forms reference wholeness, vulnerability, deformation, and fragmentation – so as to reflect what it is to be imperfectly human, as we ultimately exist. Alan makes art more tangible and visceral, less intellectual, communicating meaning to touch and open our hearts, to affect our being, revealing our shared humanity.
