The naturally curved s-line taken from an oak branch is sliced into three. The intertwined branches lift the eye upward into the curvaceous open space of Spiraling Upward. Elevated by four stacked discs, in turn supported by a cube, the delicacy of nature’s playful lines echo a flower’s stamen. This also can be viewed as the three graces—beauty, charm and joy—creating a dance, a graceful pas de trois.

This sculpture suggests a lyrical theme of grace and harmony, in proffering the dance of nature. The base serves as a dais honoring life and the eternal graces found in art throughout history.
