sidebar"Allegorical Art" is a term James Muir uses to describe his work, which is filled with symbology to help create a heightened social, political and spiritual awareness. "The allegorical symbolism in my sculptures bridges the centuries of history to make contemporary statements about the human condition, in order to exemplify the highest qualities of man. My work speaks of Duty, Honor, Courage, Liberty and Justice, but above all, it speaks of Truth and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit".

| “Those who give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Benjamin Franklin The Lady of Liberty’s eyes gaze imploringly heavenward in the direction of Freedom’s Torch—is it truly still there and still lit, or does the tear on her cheek speak profoundly of a prospect yet to be revealed? Human liberty itself has been eroded from within until it is but a mask of the former glory and veneration in which it was held by our founding fathers. The spiritual seventh ray of her crown has already been rent asunder. The sixth ray of responsibility has fallen through neglect, yet—as a warning to would-be tyrants—it still lies clutched like a dagger of Truth behind the backs of an enlightened people. “O, awaken, ye sons and daughters of Despotism. Look ye behind, for ‘we the people’ gaineth on you.” |
Bronze Sculpture
In keeping with his deep spiritual convictions and social consciousness, Muir's sculptural subjects have expanded to reflect the critical nature of the times in which we live. Yet, whether historical or contemporary, "the golden thread that ties it all together is still my never-ending quest for the essence of life— for Truth in its purest form."
