Embark
from the moment that it was being carved seemed to be just lightly
bound to its' base. Embark always seemed to be
waiting for you to turn your back and it would hop off the pedestal
and start exploring his world. Embark is closely
related to
Hansou,
Oonami,
Triptych,
Ugokasu
and
Skating.
All six deal with happy, effortless movement over a slick surface.
About the
Motion Series
Movement is an unusual activity to catch in stone. Stone
Sculpture is noted for being solid, rooted to the ground, and
unchanging. Exploring unanticipated action is the common
feature of the Motion Series. A sculpture caught in the act of
falling, another sculpture caught just before it is ready to leap
off its' base, another seemingly moving effortlessly across its'
base. All of these are displaying that elusive stone quality -
movement.
