Every body has
a story. Stories, conveyed through vocalizing, inscribing or expressing
body language can be spawned by reality or fabricated by imagination.
The terminologies of the human form constitute the heart and soul of my
clay, steel and wire sculptures. These corporal
“voices” of humanity from the individual to the collective, fascinate me
and stimulate figurative narratives. I am enthralled by human nature and
the prodigious spectrum of diversity, uniqueness, mystery and
universality. I am grateful for this enormous reservoir
of resources. My sculptural stories are inspired by personal
experiences, relationships, everyday observations and psychological
issues. They are communicated thematically through the marvelous attitudes,
behaviors, postures and gestures of the body - of humans being. I find
the contrasting processes of modeling soft clay which hardens when
fired, and shaping hard cold steel, pliable when heated, to be
alluring.
Throughout my Art career, I have modeled, assembled, painted,
carved and welded virtues, intemperance, social concerns, spirituality,
humor and other pieces in the epic puzzle of human conduct. A
sprinkling of wit is common, even in my most reflective sculptures.
I enkindle fellowship and
dialogue between human form and spirit, and humankind's most powerful
universal language - the voice of the body.

Thank you for visiting my online portfolio...artFULLY, Barbara
Scavotto-Earley
My creative process is rooted in improvisation,
unfolding and emerging ecstatically through a concert of instinct,
concept and uncertainty. I soulfully juggle structure and
spontaneity, discipline and freedom, experiencing ritual, timelessness, and meditation in motion.
My sculptures eulogize humanity and a global body language. They convey
my playful creative desires to be in communion with the universe, the
festival of life and this very moment...
