Embark is one of the Motion Series of sculptures. It joins other sculptures that include: Hansou, Kai, Kinpaku, Mizushou, Momentum, Motion, Nami 2, Oonami, Precipice, Skating, Soushi, Soushi2, Triptych, Ugokasu, Ukei,  and Uzushio.

Embark from the moment that it was being carved seemed to be just lightly bound to its' base.  Embark always seemed to be waiting for you to turn your back and it would hop off the pedestal and start exploring his world. Embark is closely related to Hansou, Oonami, Triptych, Ugokasu and Skating.  All six deal with happy, effortless movement over a slick surface. 

About the Motion Series
Movement is an unusual activity to catch in stone.  Stone Sculpture is noted for being solid, rooted to the ground, and unchanging.  Exploring unanticipated action is the common feature of the Motion Series. A sculpture caught in the act of falling, another sculpture caught just before it is ready to leap off its' base, another seemingly moving effortlessly across its' base.  All of these are displaying that elusive stone quality - movement.
