“Those who give up
essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Benjamin Franklin
The Lady of Liberty’s eyes gaze imploringly heavenward in the direction of Freedom’s Torch—is it truly still there and still lit, or does the tear on her cheek speak profoundly of a prospect yet to be revealed?

Human liberty itself has
been eroded from within until it is but a mask of the former glory and veneration in which it was held by our founding fathers.
The spiritual seventh ray of her crown has already been rent asunder. The sixth ray of responsibility has fallen through neglect,
yet—as a warning to would-be tyrants—it still lies clutched like a dagger of Truth behind the backs of an
enlightened people.

“O, awaken, ye sons and daughters of Despotism. Look ye behind, for ‘we the people’ gaineth on you.”
I first
met James Muir at the Loveland Sculpture Exhibit. As I was browsing among the different booths, I noticed a crowd debating amongst
themselves just ahead. It seemed as though whatever they were looking at was evoking a great deal of emotion. I had to see what
was causing all of the ruckus. After pushing my way through the crowd, there, right in front of me was a bronze sculpture called Liberté. I just
stood there in awe, oblivious to everyone else and everything around me. No one had to explain the meaning of her to me, I
knew it instantly, I just couldn't believe it. I could have written everything that James wrote about Liberté without
even talking to him. It was at this moment that I realized why all of the people were getting so worked up, and as corny as
it sounds, it was also at this moment I realized that just like Liberté, there were tears running down my cheeks too.
After the 911 attack, she had even more meaning. 911 wasn't just an attack on our country, it was an attack on our essential freedoms and liberties as well. Liberté stands as a tribute to all of those who died and all of our freedoms lost.
I regret having to part with James' tributes, but circumstances being what they are, I have to and all of the sculptures on this site are for sale. I don't really need the money, it's more of a personal decision. If you are interested in purchasing any of the sculptures on this site, drop me a line and let me know. Please, serious inquiries only
