Edelweiss is a wall sculpture comprised of four layers. It resided in my family of word that contain piece like Escavada and Lion and Ouzel, which can be seen on this site.
The title arose from a statement the collector made about it reminding him of the snow that kicked up around his skis when on the slopes – I typically do not title sculpture until well after that are completed and, in this case, it was hung before it had a proper title. Edelweiss is the name of a favorite ski run and Winter Park in Colorado of the collects family, so it was name appropriately.
