"Sun Ray" stone trough

This is a functional sculpture (stone trough) that was inspired by all the stone troughs in Great Britain.
 Most stone troughs are rectangular...and...well...boring.  I decided to have some fun with the proportions and design elements.
 It is carved from a single block of Indiana Limestone.  Most of the surface is polished, but the diagonal design elements have a stippled bush texture to create visual and tactile interest.  It measures 46"L x 22"W x 13"H and weighs approximately 1,000 lbs.
I included this picture to help you get a sense of scale (cat not included).  This piece sells for $1,800.00

"SAIL !!!"

This vessel form can be enjoyed as a sculpture and it can also be used as a vessel, such as a bird bath.
 It is called "Sail !" and was inspired by the Youtube video called "Grinding the Crack".
 The video features Jeb Corliss base jumping in a wing suit.  You should check out the video!
 This functional sculpture measures 23" x 23" x 8"H and weighs approximately 70 lbs.
This piece can be purchased at The Garden Place, 110 Fairmeade Rd. St. Matthews, KY 40207, (502) 895-8730

TOGETHER

This heart-shaped composition can be enjoyed as a celebration of being together.  Since it is made of extremely durable North Carolina Granite, it can be used to embellish a memorial for a loved one.
 It measures 16"H x 12"W x 8"D and weighs approximately 80 lbs.
