A silent medium within a silent medium. These are the words contemporary master Richard MacDonald uses in describing his world renowned Mime Series. MacDonalds trademark skill at investing his evocative bronze images with movement and life is never more evident than in his innovative and eloquent mimes. Sometimes enigmatic and most assuredly metaphoric, MacDonalds Sleep, Marcel Sleep invites the audience to be its own storyteller. In this piece, dedicated to Marcel Marceau, MacDonald captures the mimes face in the rapture of sleep. In contrast, the artist renders an impossible agility of the mimes grasping toes and bent shoe as he strives to stay balanced on the ball below. Delicacy and strength combine with an effect that is magic the goal of the mime is achieved.
