Expecting to Fly Artist: Leo E. Osborne Dyed Maple Burl Wood 36 x 16 x 12 $24,000 Choosen in 2003 for the National Sculpture Society's "Wings of Peace, Wings of Hope" exhibition at the Society's Park Avenue Atrium New York, New York Expecting to Fly was born of earthbound wood. The great maple, producing large knurly burl growths… transformed from primal, raw essence into soft, sweeping rhythms of form. Seductive hips of a female human, the Woodland Goddess, rising through lines of spine and breast, a bird emerges and sweeps into flight. Connected to our bird brothers we refuse to forget our wings we remember we will fly again in this lifetime or others released from hands of the Great Carver each chiseled body finding its own journey is beckoned homeward stretching heavenward, like limbs of great maples reaching for sun and expecting to fly
