Quantum Dance Sculpture: woodcarving



"Quantum Dance" is joyous. It is movement, connection to the Universe and beyond, full of possibilities, questions with no answers, not needing answers. 

The pose was inspired by "Afternoon of a Faun," originally danced by Nijinsky in 1912. Very beautiful and very strange. Here's a link to Nureyev's version: Nureyev dancing "Afternoon of a Faun" , much easier to see than the fragmented film of the original: Nijinsky dancing "Afternoon of a Faun". Can you find the pose?

This piece in basswood is approximately 15" high, 12" wide.
