About Zephyr 10/50
This sculpture is number 10 out of 50 and can be purchased on commission basis, please allow 8 - 12 weeks before shipping. Sculpture weighs approximately 970 lbs and has a steel substructure for installation.Smooth surfaced, black granite, is flecked with copper and white and has been engineered into an elegant ribbon in tangible contrast to its large scale and weight. The work is aptly titled Zephyr, or gentle breeze, a word derived from the ancient Greek zephuros, the name for the God of the West Wind. The bent form is reminiscent of the northern Canadian pines that often bow to the force of winds from the west.
