This piece is an abstract, carved marble sculpture, evocative of a bird in flight, with a central void, which is a signature component of the artist's oeuvre. Poncet's accomplished technique in marble is clearly evident in this transcendent work. In Poncet's work, the unsteady effect of movement is balanced by serene harmony making his sculptures aesthetically pleasing. Poncet states "they have the air of being happy to be alive".
Gift of Alfred Harrison and Ingrid Lenz Harrison, 2017.
