“I’ve always relied on these model people that have overcome adversity,” Price said. “Any of these figures that I select I want them to have contributed to world peace.”
“I just wanted to create a great scenario of life itself through what he was able to portray to us through all his plays,” Price said.This sculpture of William Shakespeare is a permanent resident of the Dallas Arboretum. “Somehow, I want to get their spirit. So, when you sit next to them, you feel their energy and what they were about,” Price said. “I really want that person to come through that inanimate metal.”
Harriet Tubman patiently waits with her lantern to share the way to freedom. Joan of Arc is a confident spiritual soldier, resting with her sword.
