Rising Realities Brucite-Dolomite and Forged Steel 17in x 8in x 7in

Rising realities. Sometimes you have to listen more closely to hear what you really 'should' know.

Primal Mysteries Shunaya Marble/Hand-Forged Steel 9" x 7" x 24"

Finding this Shunaya Marble's fossil was pure serendipity. During the sculpting process it seemed, simply a depression that was so beautiful in shape, it was earmarked to keep. Studying the marble, in silence and the changing light, I discovered a primal mystery. Primal Mysteries An Outerworld caught in the web of antiquity... Like silences folding back from the brink In a shifting light; Awakened by a gentle west wind from sleep, A portal draws back Yielding its primal mysteries.

Two, Zero, One, Four Anhydrite and Dolomite 16in x 14in x 9in

Rhythms change in life as they do in music - you have to seek your own rhythm to reach happiness, your personal success and sense of well-being - the lines in this stone seem to criss- cross the landscape of life, like pathways - forging a gentle movement.

At the Edge Green Serpentine - Hand-Forged Steel, 21W x 12D X 9H Inquire

At the edge of nocturnal sands, Lies a water-world... Floating on dreams and whispers, A wave surges Sheer and stark from the sea... A watery moiré, Ruled by Moons From far beyond... With time on its side, Water tendrils trace the surface of memories Embracing the rough shoreline... More than death, she fears...nothingness.

Fade to Black Black Marble/Stainless Steel 18 X 8 X 10

Fade to Black The egg form symbolizes hidden conflicts within us all; a hunger for security and the challenge of confrontation and risk. In this neverness, The synthesis of all emotion Disappears on murmur-winds Into a honeycomb of blackness; Colour fades When hope sees its vanishing point Lingering at the doorway of nightfall; Fade to black...

Purity Marble 14in x 11in x 9in

'Purity' has its own voice...its pure shape is contrasted by the honeycomb in the interior which speaks of life in the here and now, and, the exterior, so mysterious in its purity. Purity In the arms of a galaxy... Purity's silhouette, is the space Between The absolute and the mysterious.
