Is a steel sculpture created by Scott Wilkes. She is the first piece that was done by welding hundreds of small steel rods together to create a female form. She stands 37" tall and is 16".5 wide and 12" deep. She is mounted on a steel plate so she can stand with grace. She was made when a person I held very dear just left one day and disappeared for 106 days without any word. To Me : She represents the way I felt about her sudden departure. My image of her was shattered and her memory was sharp and pointed, I could see her in my mind but splintered and ghostlike.
