The sculpture of Washington, D.C. artist Joan Danziger combines interplay of animal strength and beauty of nature with the human spirit. They are reaching into the heart of nature to evoke mysterious and secret worlds, which draws upon her fascination with dream imagery and metamorphosis. The use of animal imagery as metaphorical or psychological subject gives the sculptures a life of their own and creates a magical world.
