Equanimity
I created Equanimity as a symbol of inner strenght and balance, a universal force we all need in life.


Project Equanimity in Italy, 2009
Following Emilie’s participation in the Biennale of Florence in 2007, Giovanni Cannas, owner of the Fattoria Lischeto in Volterra, Toscany, offered his estate for the realization of her landscape sculpture “Equanimity”. Cast in bronze and 9 meters tall, it will be a monumental icon for the region.

Equanimity is a symbol of inner strength
and balance, built in the shape of an inverted question mark - a playful way
to express life’s questions and answers for equanimity.

Emilie has chosen a collective approach
to finance the project because of the shared symbolism of equanimity and the public role of landscape art. By purchasing a smaller bronze version of Equanimity
(53 cm or 1.20) supporters become co-founders and all proceeds will go toward the realization of the monumental sculpture.

In December 2009 Emilie was awarded the Magnus-Laurentius Medices 1st prize for Sculpture at the Biennale Internazionale Dell’arte Contemporanea of Florence.


A dream, shared by Family and Friends
To realize this dream, I have asked my Family and Friends for help.
In order to raise the necessary funds to build and place the sculpture, I will produce a limited number of smaller versions of Equanimity. These sculptures are for sale.

To recognize their participation, the names of the participants will be engraved in a bronze plate that will be placed at the foot of the hill in Tuscany.

Sizes and prices of the sculpture
I will produce two smaller versions of Equanimity – one of 53 cm and a larger one of 120 cm. The prices are respectively euro 1800 and 7000.


Stands
The sculpture of 53 cm comes with a dark grey polished stone stand, size 30cm high, by 14cm wide, by 10cm deep. This stand is included in the price of 1800 euro for the Netherlands as well as abroad.

For the sculpture of 120 cm we have two stone stands: one of 10 cm high, by 30 cm wide, by 30 cm deep and one of 90 cm high, 30 cm wide and 30 cm deep.

The first one (10/30/30) is relatively small in relation to the sculpture, but is included in the price of 7000 euro for when the sculpture is delivered outside of the Netherlands.

The second stand (90/30/30) is recommended as a base. It is included in the price of 7000 euro, but for delivery outside of the Netherlands, I will have to bring into account the extra delivery costs of about 300 euro.

The stands will be made by a stone mason in The Hague who I always work with.
