Face 2: Disintegration1075 viewsGreed and fear start to eat away at the sense of harmony and erode the perfect state.

The Source (at night)1307 viewsThis year I bought some cheap $5 solar lights and lit up some of my sculpture... here's The Source
the_answer2.jpg
The Answer1421 viewsI was thinking about grass blowing around in the wind when I was carving this one and then half way through I under went a slight change of mind... deciding that it would be too busy with lots of swaying lines all over it. So I went for a smooth contrast. So this one I feel is very tactile. You can run you fingers along the wavy lines and then enjoy the cool smoothness of the central core.
Stand 600mm high plus 100mm base (SOLD)

Art Deco Birdbath990 viewsI don't often work with angles and lines as I'm not truly comfortable with too much structure or symmetry - but I had this idea, and I played with lines and angles - and I think it would sit beautifully outside an Art Deco house that uses similar ideas. (SOLD)

Through the looking glass (stage 1)1395 viewsWho knows what inspired me here? I usually shy away from geometric shapes, but this time I have straight (well almost straight) lines!
This is only stage 1 of this statue, it has another piece to go on top, but I haven't persuaded my husband to put it there yet. So watch the space next to this picture.
Currently 3 pieces of stone pinned together, total height 1120mm
don_t_know.jpg
Don't Know1395 viewsI was doodling when I made this. I began thinking about fish hooks, then dolphins and whales swimming in the ocean, and then vertibrae??? So I came up with something very unusual but soft and flowing with deep contrasting shadows.
1200mm tall on a 200mm tall base
(SOLD)
column_2_pieces.JPG
Column pieces for "Pillars in Time"1000 viewsthese columns are constructed the same way as the ancient Romans put their columns together. Each piece is carved and then threaded onto a central post.

A dangerous point of view1445 viewsAnother of my 'looking through' series. With dangerous, almost lethal spikes or claws guard the organic, blobby viewing portal.
Three pieces pinned together. Total 1320mm tall.

Taste_of_Elegance.JPG
A Taste of Elegance1156 viewsThis is one of the most time consuming pieces I have ever carved! It took months - to carve out the bowl of the glass, drill thousands of holes to make the laceyness, shape the leaves, and the sanding was a nightmare.
But this piece while formal, is super elegant. I uplight it at night to show the shadows and form. Its one of my current favourites.

Tui on Flax (Lacey)1091 viewsIn Spring there are hundreds of tuis at my place, fighting over kowhais and flax flowers while I work. They are such beautiful birds.
I have been thinking about making a lacey sculpture with birds for a while and a tui on a flax is my first attempt.
This was made a a birthday present for an environmentalist. I hope it sits well amongst your bush/garden and that the tuis fly around it there too. (SOLD)
