Norman Epp - "Dreamtime Bone Calling"

Many locations have served as home to sculptor Norman Epp in his path towards integrating facets of representational conceptual realism that searches out humanity’s participation as an integral force within our nature’s world development has matured.  Experiencing numerous cultures, philosophies, architectural edifices, and natural geographical features over six continents have contributed nuances within those ever-refined perceptions.  

 Norman’s multi-dimensional language integrates contrasting geometric and organic formal elements {respectively characterized in terms as logical permanent rigidity and intuitive flexible fluidity} that often deviate from expected normal characteristics inherent within a typical usage of the materials employed.  Norman’s perception of a competing psychological humanness between these two comprehension sets creates holistic sensual and emotional empathies between humanity and its physical natural environment, creating one integrated living being.

Numerous contemporary and ancient conceptual symbols have been worked into both the steel {symbolizing energized universal intention} and the wood {symbolizing unique Earth- Centered energy} within Dreamtime Bone Calling.  A culture’s “dreamtime” might be characterized as its “imagination”.  Bones constitute the structure which holds an entity together.  A calling may be an invocation.  Engagement, at some level of depth influences how individuals respond in creating conscious structures that implement quality of Life. 

Norman Epp’s work is represented through Walker Fine Art in Denver, Colorado.
