Alan Thornhill Sculpture
 












 


Some Themes Which Have Propelled These Sculptures,
Either Consciously or Unconsciously


The electricity of male-female confrontation

Solidarity in adversity

The moment at which masculine domination is blunted

The revival of the dormant feminine in man

The struggle between Animus and Anima

The trauma of motherhood in a menacing world

The core-factor of the family group

The dance of life initiated within the family

The terror of civilian involvement in armed conflict

The father-figure's burden of responsibility

The surge of unity and disarray at enforced departure

Moment of profound engagement between man and woman

The bliss of sensual and psychic fulfilment

Humanity's ongoing evolutionary potential
