Einstein

Einstein is an irresistible character in history. This sculpture is a contemporary memorial to his genius. The Oregon Big-Leaf Maple burl that he is sculpted from reminds one of electrons in their orbits, his famous disheveled head of hair, and an atomic explosion. His thoughtful expression seems to have emanated from his patient tolerance of humanity and his study of the nature of the universe.
