The sculpture was sculpted to capture movement in a medium that doesn’t move. Using round steel bar to hand form and sheet metal, it conveys a sense of fluid action in a space. The statue explores a wide range of movements of human anatomy. The statue seeks to convey the motion of the body in a beautiful position of the moment the sculpture is at the peak of a jump.
The sculpture is 16’ tall and consists of 3 separate pieces designed to fit on a 12” square base. Each section was made specifically for the hot-dip galvanizing process in mind in keeping the size, warping, venting, and draining all in mind for an outstanding galvanized finish.
The entire body made up of ¼” round bar was dipped in one piece and with the 2 wings and base was the things only being coated as a duplex powder coating system in a gold/bronze color for contrast.
