Eyes Up, Nickels Down: Brian Somerville

EYES UP, NICKELS DOWN
Exhibition by BRIAN SOMERVILLE

I’ve toiled backstage without a sound.
Eyes Up, Nickels Down.

Fist to the air, boots on the ground.
Eyes Up, Nickels Down.

Ounce of regret or by the pound?
Eyes Up, Nickels Down.

Must I get lost before I’m found?

“I sculpt beasts.
Layered with humor and personal symbolism, my creatures explore human relationships and the beast within us all.” – Brian Somerville

Brian Somerville earned his BFA from the University of Evansville and an MFA from Florida Atlantic University. Brian has a studio in Burns, TN where most of his beasts are created. He helps others explore their own beasts through hands-on workshops and live sculpting demonstrations.
