Carried across the winds in the changing of the seasons and the dawn of springs is an unfettered joy and hopefulness that few other phenomena in the world can rival. This is the vivacious energy manifested in the spring season—the inspiring theme of our collection, “Buoyed by Spring Light.” In this artwork, two yellow siskin perch on a persimmon, symbolic of both joy in the present as well as bountiful fortunes to come. Sculpted in exquisite detail with sharp contrasts in both negative and positive relief, this small and unimposing piece nonetheless has no shortage of technical mastery.
