"Mother and Child" 1989, Bronze, 7', One of a kind Unique among today’s artists, Johnston’s figures embody universal concerns. What he achieves is the release of emotion from the abstract realm of the heart into the concrete realm of the senses. By giving solid form to feelings, he can attach whatever ideas, stories, myths, and philosophies he desires onto our own dreams and visions. He makes our deep personal emotions palpably real.

The mother dances on the upper surface of water in exuberant joy over her new born child. |
