sculptor casey mccafferty explores mythological motifs and human anatomy at gallery FUMI

I'm using my own primal urges, too. I don't like to plan...creating furniture and sculptures identifiable by their freestyle sensibility, totemic presence, lumps, bumps and facial features.

My interest in body parts comes from ancient art, from Greek to Oceanic, and the way it implies a collectivity among people.

I would call myself self-taught...His work, then, is an extension of his physical self. Improvised and spontaneous, even McCafferty doesn't know where a piece will end up.

Merging characters and motifs from myth, human anatomy, sculpture, and furniture, McCafferty explores the boundaries between art and function, tradition and innovation.
