Spiral Form © Spalted Maple, Marble 48"x14"x15" $6,500	Arch © Walnut 70"x20"x16" $3,600	*Bluebird Totem* © Butternut, Marble, Bronze 63"x24"x9" $4,500
While walking along the beach at Cape Hatteras and collecting shells, I was inspired by the spiral shapes of the broken whelk shells. A spalted maple log seemed the perfect material to carve this graceful spiral form.	I started with a walnut log. Unfortunately, it had a large check down the middle of it. Was it ruined? I began direct carving with the chainsaw and opening the crack even more. An arch shape, like a torso, began to appear.	This is the first in a series of the Blue Bird story. Where did the ephemeral bird come from, what is it's final destination?

Walnut wood has a beautiful warm color. This sculpture was carved from a single piece of wood. A strip of bronze inserted into the wood. The sculpture can be seen as a single figure, or as two figures facing each other.	The second in a series of the bound figure. Again the dichotomy, is it one figure or two?	Many different elements come together to make up a single figure. Here each part has been turned on a lathe. The rosewood at the top is hand carved and gold leaf applied.

Carved from walnut wood, this is a variation on the trefoil knot design. Gold leaf was applied to focus the energy at the center.	A Mobius strip, turned back in on itself. A new form is created.
