Flowing-View 3-Artist, Susan Woodford

12 gauge sheet steel, suspended brass 20 year finish, hand painted glass with semi precious stone dust and 2 part clear coat (non-yellowing).  6ft tall, 16x24 base

Description of work Masculine Grounded, Feminine Flowing is an abstraction of the relationship between a man and a woman.  The man, the base, is falaced and strong.  Alone, the base is too angular and tips easily, but combined with the flowing, feminine top the piece is perfectly balanced.  The feminine top has a tighter curve, and is barely grounded, but immersed in the sky: in dreams and passion.  The glass piece balancing the single form of the combined sexes is a depiction of the flow and power of all things unexplained within life- the most powerful of all being love.
How it fits theme:  Grounded and Flowing tells the story of love.  The weight of being grounded, the exhaustion of being lifted, and the unexplained joy of the love and protection in union.
