Magic Bird

1999-2001
Topsfield, MA
Swedish red, Belgian black, and Bethel white granite, and mirror

Artist's Statement
Magic Bird
represents the concept of spiritual flight. The element of time is conveyed through stone and mirror, an abstract bird, a metaphor for flight from the mortal world to the afterlife. In this sculpture, the use of three varieties of granite conveys the beauty of earth and nature, a memory of the living world. The mirror, however, has no memory of the past and does not stop time. It is forever capturing the present and releasing it to the future.
