In my studio
Whispers
Brucite-Dolomite and Steel
12in x 8in x 28in
'Whispers', became the human landscape upon
which, voices from the past, had an
impact...even the base of the sculpture mimics
the 'roots of time'
Whispers
Whispers from beyond the visible,
Rooted in time
And
Steeled by the voices of ancients,
Fall silent across the human landscape.
Raindrops and Shadowcasts
Carerra Marble, Flamed Granite
16in x 16in x 7ft-6in
Raindrops and Shadowcasts
Shattering raindrops
Mist a horizon
With princely power,
Reigning unquenched;
Sinuous shadowcasts,
Like fresh-water nymphs,
Searching an arc of compassion,
Summon spiritual strength
From that space of neither shadow nor echo,
Affirming the magical...
Spirit Gateway
Indiana Limestone, Steel
7 in x5in x55in
Spirit Gateway
Nestled,
Resting,
Waiting...
Caressed in the shadow
Of
The spirit gateway,
Through time,
A future is born
Of the past.
Dance with Ancestors
Indiana Limestone, Steel, Fused Glass
10in 8in x66in
Dance with Ancestors
Ennobled by impressions
Pillars of stone
Rise through filtered sunlight;
Greyed shadows
Weighted by recollections,
Fall across earth...
Time slides
Within their circle
As memories release secrets
To
Whispering winds,
And
Dance with ancestors.
Winter's Sleep
This Marble has the look and feel of a footprint in winter snow.
The three lines carved into it symbolize communication in
Aboriginal lore...nature communicates hope in springtime
In a swath of pale...
Before the footfall
That traces spring,
The scent of winter’s sleep
Clings like goose-bumps
On marble white skin,
A symphony of hope.
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.

Heart’s Core
Alabaster, Purpleheart, Stainless Steel
2.5in x2.5in x7in
Heart’s Core
Moving beyond this sun's gateway,
Pausing at the boundary of human spirit,
A heart's core rises,
Eclipsing the tangible,
While embracing the spirit realm
Bordering this world.
Wisdom
This is the movement my hand follows when I doodle...it
is childlike and this stone, with its dappled appearance,
set my mind on a path; the truth a child speaks in all his
innocence.
Light shifts,
A mind-set changes...
Dappled grey days of winter
Acquiesce to the energy of spring,
Transitioning;
An inherent force
With the strength
A child’s voice
Whispering truth and innocence;
Wisdom
Binds like steel
To the subconscious...
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...
