Figurative Bust Sculptures
Artist Statement:
The use of performance enhancing supplements and drugs have been present in sports for decades. Unfortunately professional running is no stranger to this issue. Every year headlines of national champions and world class runners being busted for using PEDs make the news. The two busts depict two figures, one who is using PEDs to achieve success and one who is not. The figure with the syringe in their neck looks somewhat disfigured to exaggerate the use of performance enhancing drugs. From the front the syringe is hidden from the viewer and only visible with a change of perspective.
