Phlyssa Koshland: Poised

Koshland’s work gains a unique place within the genre of figurative sculpture through the transformation of the figure into a universal model for humanity. The abstracted figure transcends the need for unnecessary detail and mannerism. Her sculpture becomes a celebration of one of nature’s most exquisite creations. The work exemplifies the grace and virtue of proper proportions, it reveals a latent energy and conveys a sense of possibility.
