The Dance of Life by Ann Morris in Sculpture Woods On Lummi Island, Washington
“Dance of Life”
She rides his head—
not in conquest,
but in surrender to his power,
her thighs molded to its bronze,
her back arched
like a bow strung by breath.
The beast below—
all muscle and stillness,
its rage quieted into form—
bears her weight
as if memory itself
had learned to carry desire.
Light drips down her flank,
touching metal,
touching dream—
and for a moment,
stone, flesh, and want
are one continuous motion.

Dance of Life
“The women who voluntarily journey into the inner labyrinth will
discover and can release joyous instinctual masculinity. Willingly
encountered by the female, the masculine no longer needs to hide
in shame, but shines with his true power when joined with her.
Together they are the spontaneous Dance of Life from which all
creativity springs. The internally integrated masculine and
feminine spirits in us all dance the world into being.”
— from “Sculpture Woods: Studio Grounds of Ann Morris”

Lummi Island is in the San Juan Islands an archipelago in the northwest corner of the contiguous United States between the U.S. mainland and Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The San Juan Islands are part of the U.S. state of Washington. Sculpture Woods: Studio Grounds of Ann Morris is where you will find much of her eighteen years of work in bronze. With myth and metaphor, Ann Morris’ sculpture speaks of the relationship between Nature and humankind.
