A Phoenix is a mythical bird that lived for 500
years, consumed itself by fire and then arose from the ashes. I don't
pretend that this sculpture does anything quite so dramatic but it does
remind me of both flight and fire. The patterning wheels are also
similar to ones I used in a 1989 sculpture called
Dragon so there's
even a bit of rebirth to complete the naming.
