Gratitude

“GRATITUDE”

Weathered steel, paint, inlaid roofing paper

I am an artist, albeit an aging and aspiring one. With this piece I have tried to express the lingering experience of gratitude that age and loved ones bring. Dag Hammarskjold, the deceased and former Secretary General of the United Nations, penned in words what I have tried to sculpt in steel:

“For what has been, thanks. For what will be, yes.”
