"BODY OF URBAN MYTH" is a 12 1/2 foot tall sculpture of a Grecian female hoisting a cast bronze Laundromat style front loader washing machine heroically over her head, a cascade of water pouring from the open door of the machine into the fountain below. The bronze sculpture is an answer to the public art commission's request for a durable companion to the replicas of two classical Greek male warrior sculptures (attributed to Phidias) bearing spears and shields; who already reside in the Sheridan Avenue plaza.

One is invited to imagine finding this sculpture 2000 years from now and attempting to understand its context. The work is inspired by the ways in which we create alternative versions of the past, as the developer did with this Grecian plaza. Through imagination, dreams and memory, we replace or fill in for, unknown or forgotten events, characters and objects, with anachronisms. These juxtapositions are open to a myriad of interpretations.
