 The Runner
1972-1973,
resin, mirrors, 26"x20"x12"
1979, exhibited at the Boston Marathon's Expo
Nannette conceived the idea for
this sculpture while watching the end of a 50-mile John F.
Kennedy Hike-Run, in Boonsboro, MD. Waiting for her husband
to complete the event, she saw the anguish on the faces of
those who crossed the finish-line before him. Nannette was
inspired by everyone's dedication and fortitude. In 1979, she completed the 26 mile, 385 yard Maryland marathon.

For the Runner, Nannette's challenge was to find the
proper aesthetic to express the motion of running.
When the viewer looks up into the five-sided mirrored box, the multiple reflections of the face, hand, leg, and chest
do create movement. The four components were
first made in clay. Then plaster molds of each were
filled with black polyester resin. This lightweight, yet
durable, material worked well as the parts were attached
to the mirrored box. |

Abstracts
In 1995, Nannette made
duplicates in resin, of a few small
abstract-bronze sculptures
from the 1980s. These new pieces were made from the original
rubber molds, painted, and renamed for their mountainous
counterparts.
Both sculptures (right and
left) were created for "Small Sculpture
From Maryland," an invitational art exhibition at the Gallery Art Club 21 in Seoul, Korea.
