SUNRISE

(Bronze)

t seems at times the material will give direction to what will come. This was the case for this piece. As it became clearer that it was to become a sun figure, the idea of it being a companion for a moon piece I had done many years previously excited me. The timing possesses a feeling of cosmic intention to it, a cyclical weight.
Arriving after ten years of darkness, the sun appears, bringing with it a new season. Life awakening after hibernation, new green finding its way into being - spring. Illumination. Newness. Difference. Balance. Growth, in all its awkwardness and vulnerability. Foreshadowing.

I wrote these words in the summer of 2021 after welcoming my son into this world a few weeks ago. I look back and see this piece giving me a big empyrean wink. May it warm and light your space and voyage through these three dimensions (... and beyond).
