"Profusion" stone sculpture

 This is a rather ornate new creation carved from a piece of Indiana Limestone and attached to a base with a stainless steel pin.  The top piece measures 55" high x 14" wide x 6" thick.  The base is a triangle because I designed this piece to fit into a corner.  The back edges measure 28" and it is 3" thick.  I'm estimating the total weight around 200 lbs.

This is the back view.  The vine portions of the plants have a rhythmic chisel texture that contrasts to the polish of the berries and the leaves.  !!!SOLD!!!

"Back Petal" stone vessel

 This functional sculpture has a title that is a play-on-words; instead of a stem, this leaf has a flower petal.  The concept for this sculpture is to not keep banging your head when you come up against a wall.  Sometimes a halt or retreat is the right course of action.... until things open up again and allow an advance.
