Editor’s Note: The Following is an abridged version of a story written as part of a collaboration with The Globe and Mail. The story originally appeared on November 27, 2015.

Now I am a sculptor.

I focus on the human figure.

As a student, I was always interested in people and what they were thinking, which is probably why I’m so interested in the human form as my subject.

Thanks to Peter for sharing his story. Check out his figurative sculpture portfolio at petershoebridge.ca.
