\"The Many Within the One\"
Art is entirely and completely personal. What speaks to one person may be without meaning or interest to another. And when I say \"personal\" I mean it that it may touch you in a deep and emotional way, drawing forth feelings that perhaps you didn\'t know were there or once felt it results in a better understanding. This piece and the two companion ones I purchased with it, did so with me and I have enjoyed it for almost 10 years. At the time my life had changed so drastically and I had changed so radically that I no longer knew myself. When I saw the three sculptures, I recognized the feelings I had that I could not put into words. The person I was, who seemed so consistent in my personality was radically changed by the drastic changes in my life. A new person was coming to life and I did not know which of the many new sides of me would end up being the dominant personality. Perhaps there had always been \"many within the one\" person I thought I was. The head is broken down the middle and the expressions on the faces of the \"many\" are so different from the peaceful look of the larger face. The depictions show quiet, laughter anddespair. The sculpture packs a lot of emotion in a relatively small space.
I have always thought this would be a perfect gift for a therapist, whether a psychiatrist, psychologist or minister. A person whose goal is to unearth what lies beneath the surface of our so carefully constructed exterior would relate to this sculpture. A person who has undergone radical and painful change in their life as I had would relate as well. Or perhaps for your own very personal reasons completely different from mine, will speak to you.
The sculptor is Sean Corner and I have included biographical information at the bottom. I was so taken with this series of his work that I purchased three pieces. I have decided to list all three and they are shown together in the last picture.
The card with the artist\'s name and the name of the sculpture is attached to the back. The piece has Mr. Corner\'s signature and 2008 engraved into the back. It stands 6\" tall. It is 5\" wide. The depth (from the front to the back) is 3\".
The informational card reads: \" Sean sculptsearthenwareclay with airbrushed underglazes and mason stains in this contemporary forms. The sculptures are all craftedindividually, titled, signed and dated making them each unique. At the time the artist\'s home was in Kansas.

* Below is information about the artist from various articles reprinted on the web:
Sean Corner is a clay sculptor. What started out as a hobby 22 years ago has turned into a full time job.
\"I went to an art show and I didn\'t see anything of what I was showing and I set up a booth there and, oh my gosh, it was great. Sold about $500 worth of work, I never looked back,\" said Sculptor Sean Corner.
When you look at Sean\'s work you\'ll notice that much of it is looking back at you. He likes to focus on sculpting faces and all of the emotion that a face can show.
\"I think a face can tell a story and people can see themselves in these so they relate to them really well,\" said Corner.
Sean spends 7 to 8 hours on one piece. But if he doesn\'t get air bubbles out of the clay before it goes in the oven, the piece will get ruined.
\"Complete total failure of huge pieces that have popped and blown up. That\'s somewhat depressing,\" said Corner.
For all of his customers, they each have a unique piece of art that no one else has and will never have.
\"They\'re all one of a kind. So I don\'t do two alike. So each one is a little bit different from the other. Even though they\'re all faces, they\'re all just different themes of faces,\" said Corner.
Potent Shadow Self Artwork - Deepening the awakening experience through artistic expression
review byN J HowellRelated Articles:
Michael ChekhovActing Perspective
Those on a dedicated spiritual path are aware of the raw, pure experience of self-realization, Beauty and terror entwined as we embrace the depths of who we are and learn of ourselves on the deepest levels.Some artists are blessed with a purity of expression that can touch that dark side energy (which is only another way of saying that which we wish to bring to light or \"enlighten\" within) and bring it into form as a powerful witness for others and as a catalyst for self-exploration and discovery.Sean Corner is one such artist and I am pleased to share his reflections on the artistic process here at Ask A Healer.I met Sean Corner at an art show in Pensacola, Florida. I had walked around for quite some time, looking at various kinds of art but nothing had truly touched me. Then, I saw Sean\'s booth. Both myself and a friend there with me entered the booth slowly, moved aroundmesmerized, moved out of the booth and then back in again ..... we were both uncomfortable to stay and unwilling to leave.I had the realization that I was in the presence of something powerful. So often, artists who capture the Shadow Self in their work do just that....capture it. As a result, their work leaves me feeling oppressed and caught in the darkness. Sean\'s work, on the other hand, is flowing. It moves forward through the dark side Truth with unflinching clarity and illumines the Light Beyond. This isn\'t just art; it\'s Soul Medicine.
Dancing with the dark side as an aspect of spiritual awakening:
Anyone truly invested in spiritual awakening will encounter their dark side, the void, the shadow self. Dancing with our personal demons is part of the spiritual journey of enlightenment. Embracing our true limitless nature and spiritual Light is equally challenging for many of us and art can be a powerful catalyst and witness on our journey of self-realization. As a spiritual healing facilitator for many years now, I have certainly had to journey through my own fears, personal demons and dark side.
In fact, it has been in the depths of that spiritual struggle that I have learned the most about myself as a human being having a spiritual experience on earth. I came across an artist recently who seems to understand how to lift that experience into third dimensional form and I am happy to share about his work here. The following is an unedited response to several questions I put to Sean about his work. I hope you enjoy meeting Sean and visit his website, if it\'s time for you to work with the Shadow Self.
SculpturesWithin - An Interview with Sean Corner
Sean\'s comments, \" Sean Corner, All Rights Reserved
Thank you for your interest in my sculpture work. I will try to answer your questions, sometimes though my words areinsufficient.The identity of the self is my main theme in my sculptures. Finding the person inside who is truly your own voice. Speaking through that voice allows for you to be in contact with your essence, the eternal within you. People who purchase the pieces are tying into that message. They realize that they too have had some kind of experience that has unleashed the voice within and therefore that creates the connection. Many times they tell me that they are not sure why they are purchasing the piece but there is something about the sculpture that has triggered an emotional focus in their core being.The process is just let the emotions flow. Don\'t predict, don\'tanalyze, or judge just become the voice of the self and then it does the work of the sculpting.My own spiritual path is a winding path to be sure. It ties into the sculpting but it is not a serious focus. Like a friend, every now and then it makes itself known to me. Helping, guiding. I love sculpting, it calms me and reassures me that life has meaning and reflection.
About Sean Corner:Sean sculpts the human figure and face in moments of realization of what is truly found inside. These moments of awakenings are eternal and happen at all times of life in a person\'s journey. Each sculpture is created in clay and then glazed and fired in a kiln.
