Female Torso
A stunning piece of Iranian marble. Incredible cream colored patterns wrap around the sculpture like a sash. The form hints at the turmoil surrounding the female figure. The modern figure is challenged with surgical procedures, sickness, and the wear and tear of life; all of this before one touches the psychological aspects of identity. I'm hoping for a return to a concept of what a woman really looks like, and I hope this piece starts that discussion. My world never needs another pornographic, size 0, cigarette smoking, and popcorn eating model. I hope each viewer of this marble sculpture finds their own interpretation of the form.

Male Torso
My interpretation of the male torso follows a hard polished exterior, but hints at a confused and broken interior. Portions are functional but the overall impression is a hard, difficult approach to modern man. The tension in the sculptural form is tempered by the stunning Iranian travertine.

"An Apple a Day"
Primal Sin meets old doctor proverb. An interesting mix that pits the downfall of humans in paradise with a healthy diet. I find it interesting that a prescription for good health might include a daily dose of first sin. Go ahead. Bite the apple. A bit of whimsy tied to a bit of truth. The snake is made of carrera marble, the apple is Australian red marble, and the stem and leaf are Texada green marble. The base is made of northern B.C. granite. Hopefully the subject is thought provoking.

The Alabaster Wave bowl
Recent discussions have focussed on whether or not a 'functional' piece is an 'art' piece? I'd like to think so, but some times the distinction is dubious. This bowl reflects the ocean waves and is carved from a magnificent piece of Rocky Mountain Alabaster. Its weight, size, and design reflect the art side of the equation; Whirls, holes, and a spiral interior rotate around its epicenter. It would dutifully hold fruit - so its functional. I'm doubting it would do well with cheerios though. Is it art? I think so. Enjoy.

Mother Nature / The End of Salmon
Stylized salmon emerge from the red marble with the haggard image of Mother Nature dying with the last wild salmon. Mother Nature has always been our symbol of stewardship. As an artist, I decided to "deepen the mystery", and portray what the image of Mother Nature would be when our current inability to manage wild stocks, results in the end of the magnificent Pacific Salmon. She emerges pushing herself up from the red stone clutching the carcass of the last salmon - her mouth open in a wail. This piece represents the fear that we need to instill in those provincial departments that moniter the salmon in our rivers, the federal government when the fish enters into the ocean, and the international bodies that should be responsible when the fish migrates into international waters. A difficult subject - but I hope this marble sculpture can be a catalyst to create a better future for all Salmon.

Nocturne
Nocturne - subtle, sensual elements, curve in an almost pensive, slightly submissive manner. As dusk falls towards night the hues of this stunning marble change from bright luminous edges and its gold mottled core, to a more graphic hard shadow that invites - touch. Textured and smooth elements compete for light, curving through form. Can stone, an unyielding material, become supple? I think it has in this beautiful piece of Turkish marble. "Nocturne" - from the french word for "night"...when anything becomes possible.

Conception I
My concept of attraction and conception. Sexuality through tonal palate. Earth, soil, and fertility. Reds, Browns, blending through a visual depiction of faces, and biology.

Luna
Inspiration drawn from the endless phases of the moon - I created "Luna", An amalgamation of the many shapes, forms, and faces that the moon shows us...and a reminder of the power that all of us who live near the ocean feel in our souls. "NEW MOON The new moon, of no importance lingers behind as the yellow sun glares and is gone beyond the sea's edge; earth smokes blue; the new moon, in cool height above the blushes, brings a fresh fragrance of heaven to our senses." By D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930)

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 where meaning becomes lost. The quality that becomes almost like 'noise', where the artist never has to stop layering the symbols onto the paper.

'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.

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.

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.

Dominion
This stone sculpture was an exploration of the idea that humans have 'dominion' over nature. The more geometric elements represent the constructs 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.

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.

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.
