Figurative Impulses: Five Contemporary Sculptors explores the works of five prominent artists: Heidi Fasnacht, Mark Lee, Scott Richter, Judith Shea, and Mia Westerlund Roosen. The book delves into the their vaired approaches, focusing on a contemporary sense of figuration that lurks between the representational and the abstract. While each sculptor brings a unique perspective to the field, they all share an interest in figurative forms as a means of exploring complex themes like identity, form, and emotion. The book includes both critical essays and visual documentation of the featured artists' works, offering insight into their creative processes and the cultural and artistic contexts that shaped their work.
