10. Yo-Yo's Muse

by Mike Roig - Carrboro, North Carolina

One way I think of sculpture is as visual music. Fashioned in the mind and by the hand of its maker, it is an entity unto itself claiming a place in this world by fact of being. Like music, its claim has the ephemeral quality of the non-utilitarian, and like music, it is celebrated for its ability to heighten the sense and add savor to our lives. Like music, it stands sentry at gateways to days remarkable for their qualities of surprise, thought, wonder, and contemplation, rather than merely marked in their passing quantities.
