Violinist I

Here it is the gesture that is all important. She in on her toes, the right leg raised and the head thrown back. It is a feeling of happy abandon. Not to make too light of it, but this is almost tiptoeing through the tulips. It makes me happy to experience this sculpture. I enjoy the shapes and rhythms that are set up here. I love the shadows that are cast by this violinist. She dances as you move a light source around her and project the shadows against a wall. I’ll often hear Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” when I look at this sculpture.
