The sculpture ‘Dehiscence’ is finished. In the next few weeks I will have it professionally photographed, but in the meantime here is a bird’s eye sneak peek home photo showing the “seed” stone emerging from the fruity casing.
In a future blog I will write in more detail about this particular sculpture, but today I want to juxtapose it with the following poem and two images of a space shuttle lift-off and some beautiful mushrooms emerging from the soil near my house.
Fueled
Fueled
By a million
Man-made wings of fire —
The rocket tore a tunnel
Through the sky —
And everybody cheered.Fueled
Only by a thought from God —
The seedling urged its way
Through the thickness of black —
And as it pierced
The heavy ceiling of the soil —
And launched itself
Up into outer space
No-one
even
clapped.Marcia Hans
