Bronze Abstract Sculpture by Jim Bass: "Hopscotch Woman"

Hopscotch, as seen by someone who has spent time with Cubism.

Hopscotch Woman is an abstract sculpture in bronze by Jim Bass, dated 2002. Sculptors have long favored bronze because it holds a sharp edge and takes color from patination, and here both are put to work. The figure balances mid-step with one arm thrust out and the other curved down, a round head on top and a small square window through the waist. Polished seams divide textured patches of blue, rust and near-black. A wooden block carries the bronze base. 10 inches high.

She appears to have landed exactly where she planned.
