The artist, who was born and raised in Miami Beach, intended this sculpture to depict her childhood friend Micky as a “colossus”, moving from one part of the globe to another in search of works for his collection. For Colossus, a sculpture covered in wax, she was inspired by the artist Medardo Rosso, whose life and work run somewhat parallel to the period of Micky Wolfson's collection, which focuses on the decades between 1880 and 1950. Colossus, however, is a structurally modern work: a steel frame supports the armour, for a portrait that encompasses both body and soul.
