‘Moondance’ celebrates the beauty of the night sky. Like a beautiful luminous constellation dancing joyously across the universe to the moon, Cartwright’s sculpture, ‘Moondance’, is a tribute to ancient times when the night was a connection to the greater universe. Cartwright’s sculpture pays tribute to our lost connection with the cosmos as modern life mostly confines us indoors.
Moon Dance was cast in bronze at Versiliese foundry in Pietrasanta. It is in an edition of three.
Edition 1 of 3 was first exhibited in the ‘Journeys’ exhibition at Australia House, London, it has now been donated to the village of Correns, France.
