The Forest Bride, Ed. of 9., 2025
Bronze
54 x 80 x 12 1/2 in.
Sculpture with attached base: 14 x 79 x 12 in.
The Forest Bride renders a Finnish folk tale into a sculpture full of heart, humor, and
magic. At the center is a mouse in a walnut-shell carriage; elegant, poised, and oddly
regal. She’s not just any mouse, but a princess under a spell, on her way to marry the
man who saw past appearances to the soul within. Drawn by five black mice and
flanked by a coachman and footman (all once human, also enchanted), the carriage
rolls gently through an imagined forest clearing. It’s a scene that feels both theatrical
and deeply intimate, as if we’ve stumbled upon a secret moment between worlds. The
Forest Bride reminds us that love doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.
Sometimes it comes in strange forms, led by instinct, trust, and a little bit of magic.
