Have just cast the third (2011)and last fairly realistic version of this idea. The three sizes are: 60cms high (2ft), 90cms high, and just about life size. All slightly different versions of the same composition.

There are also abstract sculptures based on stylizing this pose, all on the theme of Balance, in life, and in art. (see larger images)

AT THE STILL POINT
At the Still Point
of the turning world,
neither flesh nor fleshless
neither from nor towards.
At the Still Point
There the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement.
T.S.Eliot Four Quartets.

Recently installed a life size bronze version of "Still Point", similar to the one above, in a stunningly beautiful garden, with the ocean in the background, not far from where the "Oceanides" or Sea Spirits still frolic in the sea.



The link below still takes one to the site of the book,
"MOUNTAINS OF THE DRAGON, " which is still available from this site or from bookshops.
