This sculpture was created using the same sculpting technique as the pieces shown below, but the character of the piece is very different. The figure represents the evolution of humans from earlier primates through modern man. The lower part of the body is chimp-like, obviously; the middle portion shows a human holding an armload of items that represent humans' inventions through time (a book (printing), an airplane, a medical staff, and the like). Finally the head is robotic-appearing, and the back of the head shows a computer board and wires where the brain would normally be found.

I think the sculpture is very funny, while still communicating a serious message. 

Height: 16."     Price: $400.

 
 I have entitled this sculpture "Red and Black like Jazz." It is made from terra cotta clay, obviously, with a random design in a black glaze called antique pewter. I like the dramatic contrast between the two colors as well as the fact that one is glossy and the other has a satin- finish created by waxing the red clay. The figure's body language and facial expression suggests that she is deep in thought about something, but she's not saying what it is!

It stands about 22" tall. Sold.

I must have been in a fishy mood lately, because I have created three new fish-themed sculptures. One of them is already sold, so you will have to look in my "Gallery" blog to see it. The other two are shown here. The one to the left is of three angel fish or zebra fish (I'm not really trying to create authentic fish ... I'm just going for the humorous and decorative here.) Anyway, I think this trio has a lot of character. Each fish is fully 3-dimensional and rests on its own post. In fact, you can swivel them around slightly to change their orientation if you wish. Created of white earthenware and a dark pewter (almost black) glaze. The eyes are painted in with underglaze. Sold.

Ariel - a slightly abstracted female figure - head back, hair blowing out. Bronze casting in a limited edition of five. Contact me and I will send you additional views of her.

Blue Adluh - an abstract representation of the Adluh Flour buildings, an iconic landmark in downtown Columbia, SC. They aren't blue in real life ... I just like the rhyming title.

Arctic Patrol - in honor of one of my favorite creatures, the polar bear. I do worry about their future, though, given the ongoing degradation of their specialized habitat.
