Sculpture began to slowly materialise itself in Maurice Blik’s life as a form of therapy and the expression of sub-conscious discourse with past memories. He uses clay as his preferred medium for sculpting; for him, it represents the beginning of time. The physical act of sculpting, squeezing the clay through his fingers and shaping the features of his figures with his hands allows him to connect past memories with his daily life. Blik’s status as one of art history’s most prominent sculptors was cemented in 1996, when he was elected President of the Royal British Society of Sculptors, shortly before becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
