Jon Eiseman’s sculpture extends beyond the physical, encompassing notions of time, spirituality and emotion. His figurative sculpture, cast in bronze, has a whimsical and poetic quality. The common man - often represented as a suited figure or solitary head - is fused with iconic symbols of the vessel, fish, bird, tower, tree, flag and ladder to suggest contemplation, humour and internal struggle. The work, drawn from the shadow world of dream and the inner landscape of the unconscious, carries a loose dream-like quality, creating an intriguing open-ended sense of narrative.
