Sculptor and Artist | The Late George Nock
After 5 years in the NFL, Nock retired. A natural instinct to eye afield and to scheme an entire play transformed fluidly - to the ability to look at a clump of clay and envision a masterpiece. Whereas, immediate productivity was demanded on the playing field, the average sculpture required 2-7 months of labor to complete.
Through hands-on practice, Nock devoted his life to the creation of realistic figures in bronze. "I feel a responsibility to breathe life into untold stories, usually women - the culture bearers of any society. Oftentimes my subject will be African-Americans, whose way of life seems to have remained in touch with their heritage. One can still observe many of our traditions and ways of times past. Our history is reflected in our faces."
