| Description |
There is a monolithic quality about this
impressive sculpture. Carved from a single river
rock, it gives the impression of being much
larger than it actually is. If one saw a
photograph of it, without any sense of scale, one
might imagine it to be very large, like the figures
on Easter Island. Holding it in our hands, we are
still awed by its simple energy, its rudimentary
suggestion of the human presence. Such a
figure seems primal in its power, as old as the
earth itself.
