The Mobius Strip is a form that I have sculpted for many years at various times. It is a shape that is unending, infinite. Starting at any point on the surface of the ring, if you run your finger around that surface, it will eventually come back to that spot of reference. The honey bee is in global trouble. We are at the mercy of the bee for natural pollination of trees and plants for food reproduction. Man’s pollution and interference with the natural order of things has put an even greater danger onto the lives of bees, their colonies and hives.
This ‘infinite’ form represents the eternal life of bees and our need to protect and preserve these wonderful amazing creatures.Dimensions:

Information:
Intriguing, would sum up this wooden original sculpture. Beginning with the creation in wood of LOVING EMBRACE, which piece was molded and cast into bronze.
Upon its return from an exhibit, I felt that the shape of the mother and child form should be softer, gentler and more rounded in form and shape, more motherly, feminine.
I attached it to my craving block and began by taking small bits of the hard edged crystal like base away with a small chainsaw. The piece began to take on an egg like form and that felt so right, the egg of the mother becoming the child in time and space. As I was nearing the final shape, the piece began to tremble and I dropped the saw, with one arm holding the wood, as it split in half and catching the falling side, I became stunned as the natural split in the burl, wrapping itself around the carved shape, with that one last cut had rendered the piece in half.
BUT, what came to view inside the motherly maple burl was a small , tiny tree, with roots into the mother burl and a trunk reaching up and out into limbs that at one time had been forging their way out of the crevice in the wood, to the sunlight. This child tree was birthing from within the mother tree.
I finished the form with rounded shapes and sanded it smooth and figured how to hinge the piece so that it could open up to reveal the inner child. Then it took me over 2 years of experimenting with pedestals to find a way to support the sculpture and yet be able to take it off the pedestal and open it up. This was a major project. Finally I came to the results shown in this final work. The wooden base was from a tree in my work shop and the forged iron holding rods were formed by a local blacksmith. The final pieces were dyed and red paint and strings, with 23 karat gold leaf configuring into the final look.
Thus was born my created work, EGG OF THE BLACK MADONNA.…

ANNUNCIATION
Annunciation: announcement of the incarnation, the embodiment of a deity or spirit in an earthly form.
The RAVEN announces the coming child and like the Guardian angel announcing the coming of the Christ it is a re-glorification of the bird realm as Messenger and go-between of the worlds.
The WOMAN is the embodiment of the new Millennium and represents the Goddess and the balance that is occurring as the Piscean time ends and the Aquarian time begins.
It was said by William Blake: “Time is a Man and Space is a Woman.” Now entering the end of our “time”, the all-encompassing Space of the Goddess dawns, pregnant with the seeds of our next “time.”

POEM
EXPECTING TO FLY
Expecting to Fly was born of earthbound wood. The great maple, producing large knurly burl growths…transformed from primal, raw essence into soft, sweeping rhythms of form. Seductive hips of a female human, the Woodland Goddess, rising through lines of spine and breast, a bird emerges and sweeps into flight.
Connected to our bird brothers
we refuse to forget our wings
we remember we will fly again
in this lifetime or others
released from hands of the Great Carver
each chiseled body finding its own journey
is beckoned homeward
stretching heavenward, like limbs of great maples
reaching for sun and expecting to fly - Eagle Spirit

POEM
STRENGTH OF DREAMS & VISIONS
Strength of Dreams & Visions is the embodiment of the spiritual aspects of the life between the draft horse and humanity. The great steeds here in the United States carried and pulled the pioneers and their belongings across the plains and mountains. There they would plow the land and work the forests. They became the strength behind the dreams and visions of the homesteaders. Here in raw maple burlwood the draft horse pulls himself from the wood, the raw bark through the tool gouges into the smooth, tactile elegance of the polished burl; the horse’s energy is his own strength.
As I pull myself from this earthly burl
I emerge as the force that carried men,
women, and children across the prairie lands
I plowed the field, I bared my load to fulfill
the promised dream
I was your strength, your mighty steed
I ask only that you remember me
and of how much I cared for you - Wrything
