March 2004. Granite, powder coated steel. Dimensions: 10 × 6 × 4 in (25 × 15 × 10 cm). Private Collection - Bellini Hotel Miami Beach, FL.
Cambre III takes its title from the classical ballet term cambré, meaning “arched”—a movement in which the body bends from the waist, with the head following. The sculpture translates this gesture into granite and steel, its sweeping form bending upward while supporting the massive stone in a seemingly precarious position.
The work reflects my interest in the connections between artistic disciplines, particularly sculpture and dance. By “choreographing” the typically earthbound materials of stone and steel through balance, tension, and arrested motion, I seek to transform their physical weight into a sense of gesture and movement.
