Willow Tree
Always
(27180)
Always
I feel the strength of your love
"This piece is about the strength and permanence of love. The figure's
gesture proclaims, in an outward way, the happiness of being loved...
and that love endures - it has, and always will be there.
"The etched rock echoes this idea of permanence and strength.
Petroglyphs (etchings in stone) were ancient history's graffiti - a way
of mark-making that expressed feelings in a visual way. We value
petroglyphs because they have endured for thousands of years. We
treasure that which survives the test of time.
"So the whole piece communicates a love that is strong, sure and
lasting."
