“Wings of Spirit” By Terrance Plowright

I have tried to capture many different elements within the powerful forces of Nature.
As you walk toward the sculpture from the entrance, the views give us four explosive dynamic forms, sweeping upward and outward, arising from the base to burst through the volcanic cauldron of fire, becoming “Wings of Spirit”. The wings representing Nature's uplifting, awe inspiring power to regenerate, to take to the air, exciting in its flight and freedom.
From another view the base of the sculpture is sturdy, truck like, hints of strangler fig, heavy, immovable, the solidity of the Earth. The work then carries on and upward to the volcanic cauldron where huge flames burst forth. This force of nature is one of the most destructive and yet one of the most powerful regenerating forces we know.
The view from the right hand side gives us the imposing energy of the sea, huge, powerful, almost violent waves erupting from the base, rolling up and almost spilling over, building in the viewer a sense of great power, of oceans, of huge seas.
The awesome power of Nature; Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
