Ukei
from the start was about controlled falling. Ukei no matter how I tried, while
carving, always was leaning precariously. So I let him, since
it seemed to be his nature. Ukei is closely
related to
Soushi,
Soushi2,
Kinpaku,
Uzushio, and
Mizushou.
All of them share the imminent peril
from falling.
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.
