male/female duo, one man and two
women are sinuously joined, push-
ing and pulling against one another
in the alabaster.
"That one," he says, blue eyes
aglimmer, "I had to stop. It was going
too fast.
Zitomer's coy comment stands in
contrast to the frankness of working
in stone and molten metal. But
"Triangle" remains unfinished,
steeped in tension from the waist up,
demure below. "Yep," he repeats, "I
had to slow down. Not because I
couldn't see anything, but because I
was going too far for than particular
subject. It was getting too sexy. I was-
n't, but it was."

Fortunately; Zitomer held nothing back
when sculpting "Oppressed." A woman
kneels on the ground, her arms curled
protectively i in her lap. What takes
"Oppressed" our of the realm of the
ordinary and into gut-wrenching is the
hand upon the woman's head. Alive in
its every vein and muscle, this is a hand
that will never let go.
Mrs. Zitomer comments that a vis-
itor to their home saw the sculpture
and burst into tears, saying, "I was
once that woman."
The piece evolved serendipitous-
ly, Abe Zitomer explains. "I was
making the figure of the woman sit-
ting down. I was going along and,
all of a sudden, I put my hand
down on her head just to see what it
would look like. And I thought,
`Hmmm. I like that.' So then, I had
to work only with my right hand
since my left hand become part of
the piece."
Adjacent to "Oppressed" is
Zitomer's interpretation of the cre-
ation of man. Titled "By God's Hand,
Man," the bronze statue portrays a
male figure still held in the Divine
grasp, God's palm and fingers still
curled around the waist of His cre-
ation. Man reaches back to hold
God's hands, but one wonders: Is he
reaching back to release himself or is
he holding on for dear life?
Zitomer has no answer. He shrugs.
"I just sculpt what I see inside my
head," he says with a smile. "The rest
