Artist: Alexander Liberman

According to Liberman, the sculpture’s title comes from James Joyce’s Ulysses. Mananaan, the god of the sea in ancient Irish mythology, occurs in the thoughts of Stephen Dedalus as representative of the sea, as a symbol of change. Joyce calls the “whitemaned sea-horses, champing, bright-windbridled, the steeds of Mananaan.”
