May 2020. Bronze, river stone. Dimensions: 10.5 × 14 × 4 in (27 × 36 × 10 cm).
The title, derived from two Latin words—fūnis meaning rope and ambulāre to walk— refers to a "tight rope walker," a meaning reinforced by the dynamic, horizontal "balanced baton" and the sculpture’s overall poise. It suggests great physical balance, agility, and daring, suggesting for some a circus performer. But perhaps more poignantly, the term funambulist also refers to mental agility.
