About the work

Flanking a central, bulbous "torso", two raised, tapering appendages seem to bend gracefully as if dancing. The dynamism and sense of movement are further enhanced by contrast. Highly burnished reflective surfaces are undercut by darker, textured areas that absorb light. Overall, the feeling conveyed is one of exuberance and joy, an emotional quality characteristic of this Edmonton's artist's sculptures.
