“People Talking (2002)” The series of sculptures by Vince Bomberry entitled “People Talking” is a recent addition to his carving subjects. Vince uses different mediums and various subject matters in his carvings in the past 25 years. He does not like to stay with one or same medium or style of carving for too long. Once he masters a certain style, he likes to move on to the different subject matters or carving styles. Therefore, certain carvings done by Vince tend to be small in quantity. The carving “People Talking” belongs to this category. Vince spoke about these particular carvings as very powerful representation of both his native culture and his own artistic imagination: "Four faces symbolize four directions ‘South, North, West & East’ which is a sacred number for the Native Indian. When four people group of the earth come together and speak, there is a tremendous power comes out, which is depicted with the 'copper hairs' (which he got from the recycled power lines) at the top of the head. When people of the earth will really be able to talk to each other, it will be a very powerful moment." |
