That's what my Marilyn coffee mug says. I think I already mentioned how Norma Jeane inspires me, right? Well this latest bronze sculpture (below) is titled Candle In The Wind.
It is a non-objective (or abstract) form that, like fire, has no specific shape we can describe in words, and yet it is still very much there. It seems to be sweeping like fire does, and I mounted it on a rectilinear aluminum base that represents a candle. So for me, the contrasting shapes echo a candle and it's flame.

All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude...

It's an intriguing shape.
I can see the suggested Candle in the Wind.
The form if rough, rugged, powerful, but a little "out of shape" from the forces of nature.
