Artist’s note: "We have a ceremony for almost everything. Not long after we first arrive in this world, we get christened; when we depart, there might be a dirge. Art of some kind always accompanies a ceremony. A dance, a sculpture or a song at just the right moment in time makes a ceremony more powerful and memorable. Even as individuals we have our little rituals. Think about the funny dance a football player does when he makes a touchdown. It adds to the fun. Of course, timing is important. If his touchdown made the score ninety to zero, his little dance might not be appreciated. If you run the table at a biker bar, you might want to wait until you get to the truck before waving the ‘Yippee’ flag and doing the happy dance. In that instance my friend, timing is everything!"
