Chrysalis
Monumental
In Chrysalis , I seek to gift you the feeling of running with wild abandon in a meadow—not running for any purpose or health benefit—just for being alive on the earth and because you can. Running Girl is necessarily off-balance forward. That’s actually the only way you can run.
But how to convey the slow run of casual joy? I hit on the idea of the streamers, undulating slowly in the trailing wind. Also,
the leading leg prances high to show a frolicking gambol. The leaning shoulders complete the casual feel. She looks at the
butterfly streamer, not the trail.
To cap the experience, I adjusted the lines of the arms to flow smoothly with one another and mimic the undulating streamers. But she still conveyed too much purpose in her
joyful run. I puzzled over why and finally noticed her left hand was clenched in my early models. When that hand opened up, I felt the joy. I could then begin to open my
hands to make her physical creation.
