Description
Carved from native Kansas limestone, The Ascent captures a moment of lively determination as two climbers scale a natural arch, their forms emerging boldly from the stone’s rugged face. Beneath them, a ceramic frog perches in a grotto-like chamber, its wide-eyed gaze adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The reverse reveals a hidden alcove with a seated dog figurine, enhancing the piece’s sense of curiosity and discovery. Topped with candle mounts, this sculpture bridges fine art and functional design, inviting light and shadow to animate the drama of the climb. One of four unique pieces in the Climbers series, The Ascent celebrates both the struggle and joy of the upward journey.
