SCULPTURES FOR PEACE

I first thought of the people that are symbols... the face of Ghandi, Lennon, King, but they have passed and the feeling of their effort being transient is there. Then I considered what graphic shapes are instantly recognizable and realize that they are not as universal... two fingers spread, the 60's circle with descending dove lines. I see the pure stone sphere in your picture and think you have come through this same sequence of thoughts to this. It's good for a macrocosmic universal symbol.

However I wonder if a complex mixture of very small symbols and shapes set into, or as a relief, on a sphere emulating a two dimensional mandala that would look different from every perspective wouldn't be more introspective and personal, as well as universal.

I also think that a stained glass image, with many complex interwoven colors always brings a heartstopping awe to the viewer. A round image with the hint of a repeated pattern that appears illusive and not immediately obvious would draw one to feel peace while viewing it as well as become a focus for a peaceful meditation.

Just the first thoughts of a mature, visually educated, artist at heart.

Peace and Love,
papaed
