My wife and I like to dance closely holding each other. At weddings, while we are truly having fun, I will occasionally dip her over while supporting her back! Like everybody, when you don’t do this all the time–you occasionally lose your balance and it is even funnier! So, while dancing together with a bit too much of champagne-the general position of the two figures occurred to me and was then clearly taken further in the actual sculpture! Sometimes, when these epiphanies come into my head-Patricia will ask “what is it?”…and I reply, “I can’t explain it-it’s a an idea for a sculpture-you will see it”.

This is a sculpture of a couple seemingly in an impossible to maintain position of movement, in “an about to fall over together angle”……and yet they are so perfectly balanced. Throughout many of my sculptures, I am fascinated by the magical way that human bodies can intertwine to become one,..in an infinite number of synergistic positions.

Whether embracing, loving, consoling, hugging or fighting-two can become one. I saw multiple geometric planes within a structure of realism that would be enhanced by multi-enveloping limbs of the two bodies becoming one.

These two lovers, in blissful and passionate embrace are supported by one of each of their legs. Within the ultimate synthesis moment of two becoming one—they are oblivious to the laws of gravity and totally unaware of anything- but the moment.
