The Stand (Possessing Powers) is a series of sculptures by Lily Cox-Richard. Based on the neoclassical sculptures of Hiram Powers, the so-called Father of American Sculpture, her carved plaster sculptures focus on the elements that structurally support the figure in his allegorical marbles. The sculptures in The Stand are originals and copies, homage and critique, familiar and strange, created in an attempt to see what new content might be revealed when figure and ground begin to conflate.
