Country Road

Made with materials like card board, brown paper, tin and sand, this piece is a soothing reminder of simpler times.

One week to show time

All is proceeding smoothly.  The many threads of this complex presentation are coming together.
With that metaphor in mind, here is one of my pieces crafted with cloth.
Also, I was featured in an on-line publication.  Here is the link: SEXYPINK! Online. 
Lots of other interesting features as well.

I am a Tree

Preparations for the show are on the home stretch.. Last Wednesday everyone came together to try out their parts & get some basic footing on how all will be integrated into the production. 

After sorting out some technical aspects, we switched off the fluorescent lights of the community centre & everything quickly fell into place. The concrete structure was transformed into an ancient ritual ground as professional lighting, dance & music came together to erase the world for an instant.

With many kinks to be ironed out & still lots to co-ordinate, i can only describe the process i'm going through as a kind of euphoric stress. The kind that happens during the natural process of bearing fruit. I am a tree.

Here are some photos from Wednesday's rehearsal: 

Magic Circle

This work is actually hand painted on my living room floor.  It contains several icons all custom designed.

The four elements- earth, wind, water and fire are represented in the yellow panels.  Each is associated with one of the cardinal points and the whole circle is aligned accordingly.  The other symbols I will leave to your individual interpretation.

Plastic galaxy

These sculptures are made from molten plastic. Their translucent nature seemed to me so graceful that I began experimenting with lighting & placement. Suddenly i found the pieces transforming - no - blossoming before my eyes.. 
Here they are, photographed for you in some detail but their true mystery is revealed when allowed to play freely with the light, the darkness & vibe of the surroundings. 


A fun, collector's item!

Surrender's Knees

Hey everyone, today's piece is called 'Surrender's Knees'.

It is a large collage piece- 61" x 31"- made with

strips of colored paper taken from magazines.

The wonderful thing about art is how it helps

you to process the events in your life..

This image illustrates the point we arrive at when

we finally surrender to the One.

This often occurs when we have exhausted ourselves

(represented by the desert) and finally turn things

over to our higher power, leaning not on our

own limited understanding.

The hot colors in the abdomen and chest area indicate

the power unleashed when we surrender.
