The Artwork

Lena Beth Frazier is known for her stylized lines in her bronze sculptures. In Creating Space 1, the artist used flowing forms in the legs and arms of the sculpted woman to create dynamic horizontal movement. In a posture that seems to be creating space, the figure appears outstretched in a posture reminiscent of martial arts or meditation.
