The Sower - early concept sketch Thrilled to finally share this project I have been working on for a while. "The Sower" will stand around 8ft tall in the Biltmore Walk development in Greenville, South Carolina. This weekend I will be showing the artistic vision and concept behind this exciting public sculpture project at Artisphere in Greenville. Thanks to the city and Keene Development Group for hosting me!

1/4 Prometheus at this smaller scale in wax has been a labour of love. Getting all the intricacies of line and curve has kept me engaged for weeks. In such a format I don't think I have ever reached this level of refinement. Dimensions: 10.4 x 4.9 x 11.8 inches

I have been working on this aesthetic research and development question: if a monument to space flight were ever made, what would be the best manner to capture the smoke, fire and energetic force during the process of take-off/flight. I was thinking a sort of volumetric geometry seen here in this basic mock-up. Do you see it?

Blade Runner 2049 nailed it before anyone was truly paying attention. The Memory Maker scene is the clearest visual metaphor for AI as a creative tool: extraordinary capability, but nothing without the human vision directing it.

Thrilled to unveil the completed Prometheus. The first edition is en route to Monaco, becoming part of a prestigious collection. A milestone moment for this labour of love.

It has arrived, IM7 The Culture Stone. An artistic deep dive combined with a deeply personal story of Mark Granza. Glad to see further thought and energy going into our creative sphere. IM—1776

Moving forward with commissioned sculpture. Cleaning up the lines on the clay positive. Next stage going into hard casting wax for further shape correction, then into bronze. Influences: Vorticism, Futurism and Art Deco

The time is right to grab back at the solidity, dynamism and force last seen in the American Art Deco period. I see the potential for a true revival that will once again bring a fresh, life affirming and future oriented vision.
