A hint of humanity is captured within this form, delicately held by a golden rod, as if engaged in a divine dance. The curtain/dress isn't pushed by the wind but rather drawn by it, evoking a sense of graceful movement. The symbolism of being untethered yet gently held from the centre of its being represents the delicate balance between freedom and connection. The words that gracefully dance in the breeze add a layer of depth to the sculpture. Words like "yes," "welcome," "compassion," "acceptance," "kindness," and "grace" find their place within the sculpture, signifying the values that form the foundation of human connection and a sense of belonging. Crafted using a specialised cement-based mix, the sculpture features a tapered 23-karat gold rod with a spearhead, created using carbon fibre. The choice of materials adds contrast and intrigue to the piece, embodying both fragility and strength. "Belonging" is a visual representation of the intertwining of human and divine elements, exploring the notions of movement, connection, and the profound impact of positive emotions. It invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of belonging and the significance of shared virtues in fostering connections. https://www.johnfergusonsculptor.com/process daily 0.75 2020-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1582232753821-THMEFMFG45WP7TNCGIB4/Moving+Breathe Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1582232868650-D30SK836A8M63XRCU4F7/_J9K1836.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571438313049-VPWVK2FIT7NC25GC3XPE/IMG_7227.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571438945188-LQQ4UYI49P6A2O8PVE4G/img_0849.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571439803012-8547F3ARE1HGOQMEGICK/IMG_2297.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571439807606-ZEO2IGVVOFNZOS7R1NR8/IMG_2842.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1572052878355-FJ4AHO48SV8E9K97CI6C/Seed+Install.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571972464701-X0G2RV7NT4V2IMIZKDR5/P1130894.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1569568790826-B4WLB0D3MZRMLPTZIYH0/2014-10-14+17.14.09.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1572053166098-CX4W6HQUUVTMQGNL9LZ9/DSC01689.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1582236136106-D905RV72HJLIRN9UB4F1/IMG_7042.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1582236552530-KU89VI922VA4FQZEN1MS/IMG_7032.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1569568179470-9S3UO9EDS10ZAD1DQACF/p1050278.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1569568266869-AFKCBGWMCNIIQMBRCJQU/P1050393.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571438387023-EWI1TYH6ESCBL8RUN4NS/IMG_7232.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571896848803-HBX8H2QHFDG2R2SWHF6L/P1050413.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1572052962143-KOZBFWTHBMS1NI853514/Seed+install+2.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571438723056-4WNA1WO4VULHCIWRPFWI/IMG_7200.JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571438387343-4JAV1A2VEQAVONXAW0J4/IMG_7240.JPG Process https://www.johnfergusonsculptor.com/work daily 0.75 2020-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7afc213f9af762e403a8e4/1571971715895-YHS8LZL9J5WFKTNXNLN1/FRANCES+BACKUP+007.jpg Work -
