Endangered Species
This sister piece to "Oracle" (see below
under more sculpture), is of beautiful
redwood and copper, powder-coated
steel. I like to think of it as an exotic
plant, lost forever in the destruction of the rain forest.

Sculpting Wood
Nature has bestowed great beauty on the living tree. The murmuring sound of the wind in its leaves, the patterns of light in their motion, and the repetition of the changing seasons produce natural rhythms which remain locked in the wood.In my sculptures I try to release this energy and recreate the life-force which circulated through this complex and beautiful material. This same life-force compels us to hold it and touch it and when we do, we feel the remembered rhythms.

Sailing at Sunset
Perhaps in the harbour at Rio, the small sails turn red as the sun sets on them.
These colourful sails are nade of satine, sometimes called bloodwood, a wood from South America. The red fleck in the granite base reflects the rich colour in the satine.
The two pieces can be displayed in several orientations and I leave this up to individual taste, and the feeling they are intended to convey.
