sold out

June 2013. River stone, pigmented and sealed steel. Dimensions: 13 × 14 × 3.5 in (33 × 36 × 9 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.
