“An offering to the God(ess)
XX: two kisses, dancing

we celebrated 20
watching love stories on Broadway
in Times (x) Square…and sleeping in the hotel we designed for Mr Marriott there...”
Mozer first explored anthropomorphic “X” forms in Rock Opera sets for Mick Jagger and sculpted a variety of forms for the JMA Hotel design commissioned by Bill Marriott overlooking the “x” of Times Square. For their twentieth anniversary, Mozer awarded Karen with a relationship trophy, portraits of the couple, “x” being the roman numeral for ten. The sculpture resonated with other couples and generated additional studies.
