Welcome to Hearts of Oak. Our interview today features sculptor Sabin Howard discussing his monumental piece, "A Soldier's Journey," set to unveil at the National World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C. Sabin reflects on his late start in art at age 19, influenced by his European heritage, and details the nearly decade-long creation process of the 60-foot sculpture depicting a soldier's transformative experience in war. He emphasizes the importance of traditional techniques, public connection, and the role of art in addressing collective trauma. Sabin also notes the challenges faced during production, including logistics impacted by COVID-19, and is working on a documentary and a book titled "Born Cancelled." His work aims to create accessible art that resonates with universal themes and honours veterans while reflecting on the human condition.
