Generations by William Harling, Bronze
A unique take on depicting human ancestry, that is at once both unique to the viewer and universal. Standing on the shoulders of those who have come before us is a key message that is boldly presented. The artist has taken a concept rich with pesonal meaning and trranslated it into a finely cast bronze and with a beautiful green patina.
