"Victory" metal sculpture
By Gilbert McCann: Metal Sculptor
VICTORY was my first commission for Dr Douglas Iddings, a surgical oncologist at the Genesys Hurley Cancer Institute, Flint, Michigan. It was presented December 2013 at party held each Christmas for all of his patients.
Dr Iddings has a ritual for his patients when they are declared "cancer free." It involves ringing a large brass ship's bell, in his office, to signify victory. He requested that the piece include a stylized bell and something to signify life. Along with the sculpture I created a poem to describe the piece. It follows:
The bell rings down upon the tree of life.
I have survived the fight.
Let the bell ring loudly so all will know that this is my VICTORY.
