Artist's Statement
|
Most of my sculptures are inspired from books that I read and feel passionate about. Like Richard Meir," I strive for purity, simplicity and clarity. I like my work to be filled with meaning and have it resonate emotionally." I particularly enjoy doing monumental site specific sculpture internationally as well as nationally.
I enjoy following Ockham's Razor theory that states, "What can be done with less, is done with more in vain."
Marcia Raff

In the words of Henry Flood Robert, Jr, Director of the Jacksonville Museum of Art, Jacksonville, Florida --
|
|
"The work of Marcia Raff reflects two important and distinct factors found in
contemporary art today - delicacy and power. This unique combination is an
accomplishment which is testimony to Marcia Raff's concern for impeccable execution and strong geometric forms.
Acute attention to detail, finishes and surface texture move in and out of Marcia's work like a Cartier jeweler. Often influenced by the power of words, her "word symbols", which adorn many of her pieces are symbolic of her life's experiences, triumphs and tragedies.
Beautifully crafted, through the use of diverse mediums, Marcia presents the viewer with an exciting variety of cast bronze, brass, ceramics and steel.''
