One deep breath, ready to fall forward.
Fearlessly facing whatever is next.
Come What May
There’s a moment when we finally let go. Of fear, sadness, anxiety, worry and the weight of everything that came before. A moment when we surrender to the uncertainty of what lies ahead and the exhilarating feeling that follows.
Whether it’s the excitement of taking the leap of a new venture or the quiet acceptance of a devastating loss, the feeling this sculpture emulates is peace, closure and the new waiting ahead. It may be terrifying to take that leap but the feeling of letting go of the fear is the emotion the sculpture is meant to capture.
Details
I allowed several details to remain during the building process; You will notice her ribs are left un-filled and exposed on one side. This is the metal structure I start with while building out the anatomy. Normally, I fill the gaps in but I loved how it looked as-is. It gives her a feeling of vulnerability and exposure.
Another detail along those same lines: you can see light passing through her chest through both armpits. There is a hollow stainless structure that is underneath which was the foundation of her ribs and it was serendipitous for that hollow part to remain passing-through so I left it!
Lastly, her hair is made of approximately 250+ individual strands of stainless steel wire. Each one independently welded, positioned, cut and shaped to appear weightlessly floating in the strong wind directly rushing over her.
Dimensions
-The entire sculpture stands a total of 21” tall from the bottom of the cliff/base to the top of her head
-Approximately 13-15lbs
-The female figure is right at 10” tall on her own.
-Her hair is also 10” long.
