Back

With robes so hard you can knock on them and a paintjob to rival Michelangelos', our statues are obviously frozen still in the freeze of time. Why then do they move so slowly and gracefully, robes and all, through different classical poses in a Butoh-like dance of control and balance? Charming to all who see them, in characters that mix Cupid with Belles Artes with DaVinci, in blazing gold or classic white/grey, people gather round to communally grin at these optical illusions.
