Paul Kincaid
The production of Kincaid’s pieces is ritualistic process, ideas are drawn from the subconscious mind and given form by stages: collages of restricted visual matter, chosen by primary response, focus the attention and precede drawings, clay models and finally, carved stone. These models are not slavish transcriptions of anatomical studies, but figurative images, whose structural anatomy is determined by the folded sheet clay; it is this anatomy that carries the spirit of each piece. The fluidity of form produced by this technique, provides the basis of its final transition into stone; Kincaid views consideration of this anatomy in his work as “a communication with the non perceived. The Body Mythical and Spiritual”.
