November 2014. River stone, pigmented and sealed steel. Dimensions: 27 × 29 × 9 in (69 × 74 × 23 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.
