Artist's Statement:
Brought
together in the
awkwardness of
childhood, these
young souls set
out on the mirror
of themselves,
testing the dance
of life on hesitating
tethers, short
and careful strides
across the cold
, unyielding surface,
like the frosted
winter windshield
of a memory unknown,
they hold each
other's mittened
hand and test
the power of their
balance, swinging
on each other's
weight, growing
into graceful,
reeling ligaments
of awe, someday
together.
This sculpture would make a great conversation piece in any setting.

Lost Wax Casting Process
The "Lost Wax" is the most precise metal casting technique in existence, ensuring accurate reproductions of the original sculpture and exquisite detail. All bronze pieces are cast from a wax model regardless of the original material the model was sculpted in usually in clay or wax. "Lost wax" casting method was founded thousands of years ago. Even though, modern methods and materials have improved the technique. It is still an extremely labor intensive and expensive process.
