schaumB.1970
BA Philosophy, New York University
Studied sculpture with Minoru Niizuma, Marisol and Greg Wyatt.
Attended International Sculpture Symposium Iwate, Japan in 1997
Awarded permanent placement of outdoor sculpture at College of Charleston, South Carolina in 1995, and at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee in 2000.

The sculpture I am proposing will be based on the play of tension and light that exists between two opposing, yet interconnected unit forms. The interaction of these forms symbolize the primitive mythology of the Uroboros, or "... the perfect state of being, in which opposites are contained...the primal creative element..."(Newman, The Origins and History of Consciousness, p.9)
