Sculpture: Globe Trotter
Artist: Jutta Pilz 
Artist Statement
Series: I Simply Must Fly
I feel swept by the winds of time.
Although I live in Australia my dreams carry me to the place of my youth on the other side of the world – or, to a distant country I have never been to. Once I fly across the globe I leave reality behind – or – are the dreams reality?
My interpretation of wings in the series “I Simply Must Fly” signify the flight of body & mind
