"Relief Figures" (Augustus Kopmanis, 1968) St. John's Latvian Lutheran Church, Toronto
The figures are initially only etched into the stone, but as the people become younger and more vigorous, they have more depth and solidity, until eventually they penetrate the stone completely and acquire three dimensions.
This is one of my favourite sculptures. I'd seen a drawing of it several years ago, but never went to see it. One evening, walking home after work, I decided to go out of my way and finally saw it.
