Stride Between Worlds

Rising like a walking monolith, Stride Between Worlds captures the instant a figure breaks free of stone yet remains inseparably bound to it. Hewn from a single piece of striated stone, the sculpture stands in a poised, forward lean: a curling “leg” anchors the base while a stacked arrangement of blocks, arcs, and cuts builds an unmistakably corporeal presence. A circular void suggests an alert eye; a sharply carved triangular aperture opens the torso, turning weight into light and allowing the surrounding space to inhabit the work from within.

Every surface bears the rhythm of the chisel crosshatched tool marks, roughened planes, and deliberate scars that refuse polish in favor of a raw, tactile energy. This vigorous carving language collides with the precision of the geometric openings, as if a prehistoric totem had been spliced with a fragment of modern architecture. The result is a figure assembled from contrasts: archaic and contemporary, massive yet agile, caught somewhere between dance step, march, and ritual stance.

Viewed in the round, Stride Between Worlds never resolves into a single reading. It can be experienced as a traveler carrying the strata of time across generations, a living hieroglyph that hints at stories we can’t fully decipher, or a sculptural self-portrait of the artist negotiating identity through form. For collectors and connoisseurs drawn to sculpture that embodies movement, memory, and material intelligence, this work offers a compelling invitation to stand, circle, and think with it.
