I began The Caged Bird Dances II after looking at my earlier drawings and
studying the first version on location. Wayne and I measured the speed of rotation
of the sculpture on the dunes near the Atlantic Ocean, and decided that the
movement needed refinement.
I was inspired to form a more fluid version for my solo outdoor exhibition at
Fordham University Lincoln Center, NYC. (Fordham Video)
In 2007, Brooke Barrie invited me to make wind visible with "The Caged Bird
Dances II" joining the New Additions Outdoors Series at Grounds For Sculpture.
Spinning gracefully along the water course, my sculpture incorporates wind and
light as its kinetic motion radiates from the central core of the sculpture. (see
Brooke Barrie's Article and Maureen E. Korp's text in Epoch Times)
In 2011, the Sculpture Foundation purchased the sculpture for permanent display at
Grounds For Sculpture.
