...sculptor Eduard Bersudsky, by contrast, are better read as manifestations of the troubled artist's state of mind. Now living in Glasgow, where his works are shown as a theatrical installation called "Sharmanka" (Russian for hurdy-gurdy), Bersudsky began sculpting in Leningrad in the late 1960s. There, out of sight of the authorities, he poured his sarcasm and frustration at the Soviet Union's dead hand on artistic and cultural freedom into giant, busy works built of scrap iron and wooden carvings such as the precarious Pisa Tower - a collection of Jewish figures struggling frantically to keep their balance...

We always encouraged all his diverse interests; he played varsity soccer and sang in the school choir in high school and spent a student year in Japan when he was in college. With the right parental support, you never know...
