Richard MacDonald has always been intrigued by opposites and he has the range to be able to create both sculptures of delicate, archetypal femininity and powerful, athletic masculinity.
In "Origins", we see the combination of both: the softness and delicacy of the female and the strength and power of the male. Origins is expressive of tenderness and passion, with the intertwined figures conveying a sense of bliss and fulfillment. Human desire culminates in unity, balance, and an unending continuity. A primal longing to be united and escape our singularity, Origins embodies two figures unified as one, and goes to the very heart of our basic human desire. In the bond between man and woman there is a universal sense that two can become one, in mind, body, and spirit, and this connection is the ultimate expression of opposites forming a union that is perfect and complete.
