Silent Spring
"The original idea for this piece came about during the height of the pandemic. The country has reached the alarming number of over a million souls passing from the disease. A memorial and acknowledgement of those lives seemed warranted, and this piece began to take form.
Then I saw great clouds of chimney swifts circling chaotically and then miraculously organized as they poured by the hundreds into the Davie poplar tree on campus. They swirled and dove with energy, precisicon and coordinated instinct and settled side by side in the hollow of the tree. Somewhere between a memorial to life passing and the pure will to persist and carry on, we find and remember a Silent Spring.
William Moore may describe his sculptural work in marble, ceramic, stone, wood, and bronze as creations depicting elements ranging from the sublime to the hilarious, but his level of craft exceeds expectations just as his choice of material quality rebukes whimsical commentary. His blend of an obviously crisp, intimate familiarity with human form into impossible contortions of angular, stolid materials, mimics the natural forces Earth spent creating the elements. Shown nationally and internationally, William Moore’s work graces private and public collections with classic elegance and enduring permanence. Works placed in the Triangle Region of North Carolina include Duke University Chapel, Progress Energy corporate headquarters, SAS Corporation, Glaxo Wellcome and the City Cary , NC and numerous Churches and Synagogues.
