'Sulis' Roman goddess of the waters
Inspired by a trip to Bath, England. I realized that 'Sulis', the goddess of the waters, was worshipped accross Europe and south to Rome in the 7th century. I carved this "Sulis" from a large block of black and grey veined marble. Her form changes from front to back. Abstract human female in front alters to nautilus and kelp on the back. I wanted a Goddess unhindered by shape. Calming, healing. The face abstract and haunting. Ultimate homage to feminine power.

Zen Menhir with Morrocan fossil
An absolutely beautiful dark granite with large crystals, ringed by a band of black. A gentle cupped surface holds a small egg shaped piece of fossilized Moroccan marble. Carved for outdoor display. Quite serene, quiet...Zen. I'm in love with the Menhir shape and will be exploring it in several outdoor pieces for the remainder of the year.

Digamma - (Ff)
Balanced symmetry of form represented in local white marble with light blue and black veining; a 5-4-3 ratio in dimensions represents structure while the abstract shape hints at randomness and quiet strength. The upward orientation of its elements symbolizing hope and optimism. The title "Digamma", originally the letter 'w' in some Phoenician dialects was abandoned and is represented by the letters: Ff For me the appeal of the name "Digamma" lies in the idea that representation can change but the underlying idea can be timeless. The parallel in shape to the letter "w"; and my subsequent inspiration drawn from Pacific coast waves leads to...."Digamma" Enjoy.

Allegra
Infused with fantastic color; brown, blues, ambers and fine quartz veining..."Allegra" reveals a form that flows side to side, and from corner to tip. A musical title for this lyric sculpture. Mass compliments the shape - inviting inspection from any angle...powerful & bold, yet subtle and feminine at the same time.

Axis
The shape of 'Axis' rotates around an invisible point in the center. The form suggests subtle changes in orientation while the deep green marble displays stunning dark blue and white veins. If you place your mouse over the image you can see the piece flip on its axis. Point-counterpoint. Enjoy.

Andante
Inspired by the Italian word for 'walking'; the musical term denotes music played at walking pace. Hard edges, soft lyrical movement, musical inspiration. Lighthearted yet filled with depth. Stunning red tones on the face, yet bold blue waves radiate from behind. A different color in every light. Like a bit of "Porgy and Bess" by Miles Davis.

Symbols
The endless number of signs and symbols we view. Motifs, logos, instructional signs, directions, millions of them a year. This piece, "Symbols" is about the amalgamation of all of those things into a kaleidescope of colors that become meaningless. The quality that becomes almost like 'noise', where the artist never has to stop layering the symbols onto the paper.

Oceanus
Inspired from the diversity and beauty of ocean life, the creation of this sculpture was a process that returned this ancient limestone that had been buried for millennia back to a representation of its life as living coral. Organic, shapes connect and recede, rotate upwards towards light through alternating bands of orange, and rich mottled grey.

Trestle Graphic
The idea came from looking under a trestle bridge. The beams blended into infinity. The purpose of the series is to isolate a graphic element; melt it into its own pattern and see what that can create.

Dominion
This stone sculpture was an exploration of the idea that humans have 'dominion' over nature. The more geometric elements represent the construct of soceity while the organic elements wrap and weave through our constructed forms. Forms that are defined by the materials we build our world with. Square, ungainly...yielding only to time and the power of nature. Male construct vs. female organic. Sculpted out of a stunning quartz veined grey marble with yellow brucite accents. Beautiful, powerful.

Whiskers
The second in my series exploring graphic elements. I decided to take the motion of animal whiskers and expand it into pattern.

Venus
This sculpture was carved in homage to the earliest stone carvings that worshiped the female figure. This 'venus' examines the diminished form that advertising has presented to society to sell sex; the shape I carved erases sexual boundaries; while preserving the motion of the body. Abstraction replaces fiction. As an artist, representing the concept of the female figure in light of a cultural fixation on an artificial female form, provides endless challenge. Subsequent interpretation of that form adds endless complexity; and I enjoyed creating this first interpretation.

Cosmos
"Cosmos" was really about the idea of continuity in life; tied to a concept that balance comes from accepting both the past while embracing the future. The passage through the center reminds us of where we've been, and conversely the journey ahead. This deep purple stone is veined with lovely quartz swirls and is polished to a high luster.

Sorrow
This sculpture was created as a reminder that appearances are quite often deceiving and many of the people around us have pain, grief, stress, and hardship in their daily lives. I carved this to remind all of us that we should grasp the joyous peaceful moments and live them to our fullest. It also reminds us to never forget the less fortunate amongst us, regardless of circumstance. Suitable for outdoor...and no, it isn't a harmonica player.

Cape Scott
This piece is in honor of the hardy Danish Settlers that attempted to tame the wilderness at the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Carrying 130lb packs for 25km through swamps; they tried to create a settlement on two different occasions, only to fail when nature, and the failed government promise for a road, dashed their attempts. This sculpture is the first in a series dedicated to historical pieces.
