FLOWER in the CRANNIED WALL

INTERIOR  SCULPTURE

23"H x 6"W x 6"D

"Flower in the Crannied Wall" was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Bock for placement in the entrance alcove of the Susan Lawrence Dana house in Springfield, IL.  White Wright knew he wanted a sculpture in this position, he was uncertain about just what he wanted.  The final design, executed by Bock in terracotta, combined ideas from both architect and sculptor and resulted in a naturalistic rendering of a female nude rising from a floral geometrically abstract column.  Named after the Alfred Lord Tennyson poem, which is also engraved on the back, the sculpture symbolically represents the human attempt to understand nature and the universe.

Wright was so pleased by the piece that he commissioned a second plaster version to be placed at his Taliesin estate in Spring Green, Wisconsin.  Initially placed in a central position of the courtyard, it was later moved to a more sheltered position next to the stairway that leads from the upper court to the hill above the tea circle where it continues to reside.

A portion of the sales of this product will go to restore and conserve the original sculpture at Taliesin, which has been damaged by decades of exposure to the Wisconsin climate.

Poem on the back of Sculpture:  "Flower in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little flower--but if I could understand what you are, root and all, all in all, I should know what God and man is."
