Carol Alleman began her sculptural artistic visions in clay; later expanding to include the lost wax casting in bronze. Her first bronze vessel, “Miracles” marked her transition into this new medium; and thus began the mystical and organic Tree of Life and Nature Vessel Series. Carol’s signature, museum-quality work encompasses highly evolved, intricate patinas and vast cut-out areas each within the ancient vessel form. The essence of infinity symbolic to the circular vessel form, while open to both receive and pour forth, is a powerful essence for her. Companion Writings accompany each bronze – sharing the inspiration of each piece as she received it and typically includes a poem. The inspiration she shares invites the viewer/reader to deeply and genuinely consider one aspect or another of the incessantly wise Voice of nature. She hopes and expects each piece to continue to speak to its caretaker, with a changing voice within each new season of their life – the writing intended as a seed which will continue to grow. |
