WEDLOCK

 Conceived vertically, accentuating the lofty entrance to Lafayette Center (1120 20th Street NW) in Washington, D.C., Wedlock creates alignment and unity. The center of the sculpture is a merger of extended arms, creating a broad embrace and transferring energy inward and outward. Although physically supporting the male, the female's support is effortless, as if the two were floating in space.

Visitors in the next century, too, will stand transfixed
at the entrance to Lafayette Center in Washington, D.C.,
as they have done since Johnston’s Wedlock first arrived,
awed by the timeless beauty, the soaring physical perfection
suspended above them in weightless grace.
