SCULPTOR & PAINTER
Finalists in the Richard T Nelson Sculpture awards 2023 - sold at the exhibition
“Over time, the human figure has become my most important muse and as a source of inspiration, it seems inexhaustible. The development of each figure is motivated by a search for freshness and an element of creative risk. When I begin a new work I’m guided entirely by intuition and the excitement of creating something new”
“Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art” — Leonardo da Vinci
“I absolutely adore this sculpture. Much of my work is inspired by the renaissance philosopher and self-confessed ‘physician of the soul’, Marsilio Ficino. To me, this sculpture is him. Kay has captured a beautifully soulful expression and the pathos and melancholy of a heart placed in his hand. The sculpture is an embodiment of the renaissance idea of us all coming from prima materia, we all are made of clay.”
