Having problems with message search?
I just got word that my two sculptures, "Eihei" and "Motion", will need to be picked up from Algonquin, IL. Would prefer to sell one or both to someone in the Chicago area rather than pick them up. http://www.wsggallery.com/Carl-Public-Ar
Eihei translated from Japanese means Guardian or Sentinel.
Eihei is part of the Striving Series of Sculptures. It joins other sculptures that include: Gambari, Ikkyou, Kourin, Kyouko, Noboru, Seidai, Shikou, and Toorimichi.
Eihei is a protector sculpture. Eihei, if he was a human, would be the one you would want at your side for protection. From his Hittite inspired top through his stance he is inspires quiet efficiency in his solemn task. He is a quietly strong sculpture meant to greet guests when they arrive at a house or business rather like the lions in front of the NYC Library.
The Striving Series is composed of sculptures that either are inspiring (by trying to motivate you onward) or strong (conveying an attitude of not backing down).
The sculpture Motion is one of the Motion Series of sculptures. It joins other sculptures that include: Embark, Hansou, Kai, Kinpaku, Mizushou, Momentum, Nami 2, Oonami, Precipice, Skating, Soushi, Soushi2, Ugokasu, Ukei, and Uzushio.
The genesis of the sculpture Motion was two-fold. I wanted a larger outdoor sculpture that would convey movement - ceaseless, never-tiring movement. Motion was conceived to represent a busy commercial district or busy commuters using a rail station. Motion is closely related to Kai, Nami 2, and Precipice.
About the Motion Series
Movement is an unusual activity to catch in stone. Stone Sculpture is noted for being solid, rooted to the ground, and unchanging. Exploring unanticipated action is the common feature of the Motion Series. A sculpture caught in the act of falling, another sculpture caught just before it is ready to leap off its' base, another seemingly moving effortlessly across its' base. All of these are displaying that elusive stone quality - movement.
