“Storyteller" by Carol Gold
The "Storyteller" can be found at the Whittwood Branch Library.
Address: 10537 Santa Gertrudes Ave., Whittier, CA 90603
The figure portrays the power of verbal communication and symbolizes the river of knowledge that connects us all, both young and old. It also reminds us to share our stories and wisdom with those around us.
The bronze artwork depicts a female figure leaning against a short wall. The figure’s hands are gently motioning outward in an expressive gesture. The woman’s mouth is open in speech as she relates a tale to unseen listeners.
Carol sculpts sleek, flattened figures that successfully communicate mood and feeling with straightforward gestures. The sculpture is patinaed in warm tones; honey gold on the figure’s skin and coppery brown on the clothing.
