Vittoria Alata (Roman Winged Victory)
White Carrara Marble
7' 6" tall (225 cm)

This is a marble reproduction of a 2nd century Roman bronze winged victory. I created this piece by studying the original in the Santa Giulia Museum in Brescia, Italy.

Monumental and Public Sculpture Gallery

When designing a work of art, I consider the scale, viewing angle, lighting and surroundings in order to ensure that the artwork has the most professional appearance. This becomes especially important with larger works which need to fit into established sites. Monumentality can be created through size or through visual impact, and by balancing these I strive to create a powerful and satisfying impact.

Public sculpture speaks to our shared cultural heritage, and needs to both enhance the visual landscape and educate us. In addition, issues of durability, safety and long term maintanence need to be considered.
