Knight of Winged Words 524

Linda Stein. Knight of Winged Words 524, 2005.

Description:
When I gaze at Knight of Winged Words 524, I have the feeling of being in the presence of a soldier who is "at attention" while being ribboned and honored, perhaps for saving a town from attack. I like its feminine curves and its androgynous strength. It is very powerful and yet very elegant at the same time.

Medium:
Sculpture
