Art is created to engage, enlighten, offend, or communicate. The work of David Pound is capable of all these. Intricate in detail and size, his sculptures deliver an idea in an atypical way. The collision of imagery and object serves as a catalyst for the viewer and how the figure is perceived. By personalizing and incorporating the remains of mammals, insects or our obsolete technology with the concept of the figurative, an amalgam is born. The face is our most powerful tool used to convey emotions. A connection and understanding is made without the need for words. Pound works with found objects that inform each piece in a unique way, as no two pieces are ever alike. By using what some consider insignificant and fleeting, Pound reassigns its meaning and elevates its status to create a new life that transcends decay and deconstruction.
