Tango Dancers, ceramic sculpture, height 20cm
Tango is a dance that embodies a truth about life – that we only become complete in life by being united with another. This reflects the ancient Greek idea that the first human was cleaved in two, to make man and woman, and ever since the two halves have sought to become complete by uniting one with another. Tango is one of the best ways of making life whole through uniting with another in the tango embrace and in moving to music two bodies become one. This sculpture tries to capture two aspects of tango - the classic still pose of the embrace and the passionate step.
