The Ancient Ones in the Procession

This sculpture is a four-piece massive walnut sculpture that emphasized the unique qualities of the individual while referring to the unity of the whole. The fractured facets carved into flawless planes of the wood tend to repeat the theme appearing in much of Black's work, along with a reference to the spiritual significance of the bird symbol. These monoliths were inspired by that spirituality. Shards of coal appear as fallen feathers, forming a wake around the foursome. The Procession, while static, represents movement. The solemn foursome seems to move in unison through space-and time.
