Artist talk at sculpture presentation-
Joy– sculpture No. 884
Please note this piece was designed to hang on the wall or stay on a stand.
This sculpture topic is one of the artists’ favorites.
For this sculpture piece a memory was used, and the parts were all chosen to support this simple memory and feeling of “Joy”.
Childhood delight……
Think back to when you and your friends were together on bicycles going to race down the BIG hill.
One- Two- Three- GO,,,,,,
Your hands grip tight
The wind on your face
Your pants swish with every stroke
The chain slapping with a -Clack -Clack -Clack against the guard
Peddle as hard as you can
In heart ponding rhythm
feeling Free
Moving Fast enough to Fly!
At the end,
so out of breadth——
yet the smell of laying on the fresh cut grass
fills with joyful delirium
Blue sky that echoes summer
laugh so hard the tummy hurts.
Joy -there’s nothing like it, even the memory inspires a smile.
Joy, it heals- it inspires- it’s contagious!
