Silent Song (foreground) Colorado Yule Marble and sanguine conte crayon
36"x48"x24" 1,650lbs date: 1999 Collection John Madden
Silent Song, which intertwines stylized animal and figurative imagery with an American Sign Language (ASL) poem, was first exhibited as part of the Museum of Outdoor Art's show Once Upon a Time . . . Tales Written in Stone. Viewed from a distance, the stylization of the sculpture makes a strong and powerful statement. As the viewer steps closer, they can see the following ASL poem:
On silent wings
I fly to where
My heart can sing
To the starry night
