This large-scale rounded bronze form is earthbound, conveying the heavy gravity of stone; the expressions and gestures transcend that weight with a warmth and lightness of being. This piece has a universal spirit of harmony and optimism, which transcends culture, gender and age. It invites us to touch and play and reminds us of that peaceful place within- calm, open, aware. Holding the quiet power of the natural world, it grounds us within our ever-changing environment.
