Bruce Cook states about this work: "I set out to do a series of small bronze sculptures that would invoke the beauty of a woman’s body. At the same time I wanted to create a pragmatic element to the figures in the sculpture.  Here I present to you “Vanessa’  one woman in a series of sculptures titled “Working Girls.”

The female form is the focus in my sculptures. The premise for the sculptures is that a task should be performed by each sculpture.

I hope that you will notice that each sculpture stands on it’s own. Each form functions as either a bookend or a pen holder. In Erina's case she performs as a bookend.
