DANCERS’ POSE
A demonstration of strength, grace and balance in a momentous pose; where the entanglements of limbs align to time’s invincible stillness. ‘A fine example of stone carving expertly crafted, with a joyful and playful presentation of the subject matter. A true sense of the magic of folk art as a story telling medium which in this case speaks of love, relationship and connection.’ (Jonathan Sherman, artist judge for the Marblehead Arts Association)
