Watching
people in airports, train stations, and at other occasions where greetings
are expressed has always filled me with good feelings. Raised voices,
smiles and laughter, hugs and kisses all attest to underlying new
beginnings. With outstretched arms we thrust ourselves at one another
to welcome, forgive, sympathize, succor and love then seal it with
a firm embrace. This excited and open expression of love or friendship
fills my imagination with wonder at what brought them together. There's
a story behind every one of these embraces that mandates our need
for one another.
The
posture of the figures in "The Greeting" has the greeters
coming together at the chest with out thrust derrieres. The sincerity
of the greeting is not compromised nor does the kin or friendship
appear to matter. This positioning seems to be an unconscious act
of human nature. What fascinated me was how the bodies form an arch
which is one of the strongest forms of support there is and isn't
that what greetings are all about?
