Dance of the Ginkgo - Artwork
Dance of the Ginkgo
Joan Webster-Vore's 'Dance of the Ginkgo' is displayed in the CSD Student Development Center of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Rochester, NY. The information below is displayed on a plaque beneath the artwork:
“When considering the space, the environment and RIT/NTID, I
thought about dancing with hands. I thought about the sign for
friendship (which is one of my favorite signs) and the sign for welcome.
I also thought about the ginkgo leaf, which is a beautiful fan-shaped
leaf much like the shape of a hand in a welcoming sign. The Ginkgo tree
is unique, resilient, ancient, long living and powerful.
The
leaves were formed from copper wire and covered in paper. They were
then painted in a range of earth/skin tone colors. Some of the leaves
are translucent, while others are opaque or iridescent. The appearance
is constantly changing, depending on the lighting and movement of the
air around them. Based on these variables, some of the leaves will be
more visible at different times.”
