The In-Between

Eggs in a nest are often symbols of birth and new beginnings— a brief interlude in the cycle of life. A strong desire to honor the beauty of these feathers and the life of these game birds inspired this combination of lathe turned white alabaster with pheasant feathers. The combination displays the colors and intimacy of these birds that is so rarely fully seen by the human eye in the wild flight and rambling life of the grassland pheasant. Bringing the cycle of death and birth together, this piece represents the pivot of the beauty of those who have gone before and the hope of those yet to come. 7”x15″

Elegance - Italian White Marble on Black Granite base

This piece of scrap marble was scavenged from a dumpster in Pietrasanta Italy in 2019. The finished form was visible in my imagination when I picked it up. The graceful flow it carries now is a reminder to me how beauty, potential, and possibility are in the eye of the beholder. 143/4” x 8″

Crescent - Italian Marble on Black Granite Base

My father and I shared a love for the moon- we would often sit in the suburban backyard of my youth and gaze at the moon together. I left home at 18, traveling and wandering about the country. Without a phone or address to contact, my father would reach out to me through the moon. Standing at a payphone in a remote town I can recall hearing my father on the other end of the line- ”I’m glad you got the message, thanks for calling.” Nothing important, he just wanted to know I was ok. Three months after his death I found myself sculpting in Pietrasanata, Italy, with moon shapes dominating my carvings. This is one of those pieces. 36”x12″
