Suzanne Kane Sculpture with Enchanted Hanging Hammocks

This whimsical sculpture by Suzanne Kane feels as if it belongs in a storybook garden. Two leafy towers, textured in shades of verdigris and bronze, rise like enchanted trees. From their branches hang three elongated vessels — unmistakably hammocks — painted in radiant red-and-black spirals that seem to sway with life.

These are not ordinary hammocks: they are cradles of dreams, suspended between nature’s arms. They invite the imagination to rest, to wander, to drift between worlds. The leafy forms stand as guardians of growth and resilience, while the hammocks offer a place for the spirit to pause and be carried.
