Teleduction presents
Charles Parks: Working
Artist, the Gabriel Award winning* documentary
about the life and work of the Delaware sculptor, featuring the
music of Wilson Gault Somers (Mass for the Homeless).
The essence of sculpture is its ability to capture
the structural harmony that pervades all forms of life. It creates
symbols that have spiritual meaning for both the sculptor and
the observer. Such is the vision that governs the work of Charles
Parks, a Delaware artist who has created more than 500 figurative
sculptures during the last half century. Visit with Parks in his
Wilmington, Delaware studio along the banks of the Brandywine
River during this half-hour program devoted to his life and work.
Parks shares his intimate thoughts about his work and the messages
his work conveys to the public.
