Simple Song

2006
6’ tall x 3’ wide x 6'  deep

Bronze
_ Everett, WA
Picture
_ Posthumous tribute to Mike Jordan, beloved instructor who taught dance for 35 years. Theinteractive sculpture, inspired by one of Mr. Jordan’s signature dance routines, uses a chair as the stand in for a partner. All compositional lines of the figure point to the chair (even the hat it tipped in its direction), so when the chair is occupied, the individual becomes the focal point, as Mr. Jordan would encourage his student to be. The sculpture is located in front of Everett’s Performance Arts Center  for the audience to interact with. Great care was taken to have the dancers feet in a position universal in most styles of dance. A bronze ribbon  on the dancers vest in meant to hold a fresh flower as a token of affection from former students and admirers.
