Steel + Mosaic Fence with Tumbling Acrobats

Acrobat Fence, 2002 steel, Durock, porcelain, paint. 48" H x 120" W x 2" D Commission
These graceful figures suggest both the motion of their dance and the music that moves them. The obvious joy of the figures is engaging— but their simplicity is what really captivates us. We can easily see ourselves, someone we know, or the person we might like to be in this dance. The simplicity of these figures allows them to fit nearly any story or culture. Equally flexible, the materials are suitable for creating functional work such as fences, railings and furniture or more decorative projects such as relief murals. Check out the wonderful garden fence I made for Howard Hast & JoAnne Olsen— telling the story of their life together through a series of figures. If you're interested in commissioning a unique piece to express your own story or ideas, please contact me.

I love your dance sculptures. I have a dance studio and am interested in having dance sculptures in my garden. What are the prices of your dance sculptures and what are their dimensions?
