Lou seeks to express the paradox of strength yet frailty of the human form in its surroundings.

These slender human forms stand tall with a Giacometti, Masai, Lehmbruck quality. Each figure attentive to its fellows and its surroundings – ethereal, organic, complimenting the natural environment around it. Whether standing alone as in the SENTINEL, as a pair in DYAD (Proximity, Duo) or in the TRIFORM (Conversation, Dialogue, Conferring), the forms react and integrate with empathy.

Sometimes you feel that they have grown with or into their surroundings rather than having been placed there.  They are at home, symbiotic with the horizontals of the earth or floor and verticals of the trees or walls.
