Richard MacDonald
The Ritual Female Dancer

2012

About the Item

In “The Ritual, Female Dancer”, a wave of energy moves up the linear column and erupts from the architectonic strata of time to express the sensual, rhythmic dance of creation. As an eternal expression of feminine energy, the figure symbolizes half of the vibrational dance of yin and yang. Magnetically attracted, the polar opposites of male and female balance each other to create perfect harmony. Capturing the dance of uninhibited sensuality and joyful exuberance, Richard MacDonald offers “The Ritual, Female Dancer” as a reminder to celebrate the moment by relaxing and allowing the life force to dance through us.
