Hansou from its' inception always seemed to want to be upright.
It was obvious when he was first turned upright, that Hansou
was about sailing away. Hansou embodies the happiness
and freedom associated with freedom from care.
Hansou is
closely related to
Embark,
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.
