SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK 5/23/12

I wanted to share the inspiration behind my piece, "A Girl in a Golden Anklet". When my daughter, Hana-li, was very young, I ran into an acquaintance. The woman was wearing a silver necklace. Later, Hana-li asked me where the "girl in the silver necklace" was. I loved how my two year old daughter identified this woman by her necklace. I decided to make a sculpture based on this idea. This sculpture depicts a young woman, supremely at ease within herself, identified only by her golden anklet.
