Experience this Sculpture
Walk around the sculpture
- The young girl is intently looking at the puppet and the puppet seems to stare at her.
- Patricia Sinclair makes sure this is the focal point. From every angle you notice this.
Stand in front of the sculpture
- The small girl is frozen in space. Yet the movement in her arms and legs suggest that she just sat down and took a moment to look at the puppet.
- Both arms move in the same direction, toward the puppet.
Take one more look at the sculpture
- Notice the that base becomes the seat where the figure sits. The texture of the base and sculpture are different but they work together as a whole sculpture.
