PRESENCES
"Giordano's vertical presences might equally stand for actual figures. At the same time, they are exquisite examples of abstract sculpture." Read the Sculpture Magazine review.
I never tire of exploring the dynamic relationship between body and sculptural form. Hanging shoulder to shoulder, some sweeping the floor, these sentry–like “Presences” are an ongoing series of cast handmade paper sculptures. I see each as a persistent presence; the essence of persons who remain in our memory although no longer in our lives. My work evolves through fervor for research into the properties of materials and the power of art to inspire and connect.
