From Joshua Pass’ artist’s statement.
Vows captures the union between two people. Two vertical stainless steel forms represent a relationship between a couple. A strong straight lined form that stands tall and proud with masculine energy and a softer curvilinear form representing the female energy stand side by side. Between the forms, vows are engraved on a swirling ball of bronze; quotes and song lyrics are all speaking to the bond and energy that keep these two people together.
This piece also celebrates the union that my new wife and I started this year with our marriage early the summer of 2022.
Vows is for sale for $23,500.
A Poem Titled: Sway by Marie Emma Markel
Dance with me, beloved partner, childhood friend, distant stranger
One sparkling glance, one flashing instant, one light embrace near.
In this fantastical journey as surreal as kodachrome dreams,
Organic feathered touch, as genuine as our imaginary song,
Rhythmic human bond blades rooted in earth’s rainbow-colored dirt.
Sway with me to inscribe our tangled tune of one life lived with grace.
