FF4 - We dedicate this sculpture to the
Universal Archetype of Water. The message
we seek to bring to those who come to contemplate the fountain is that of deep
value and intentional honoring of this
very vital and most precious element and resource.

We bring the Fountain as an Eternal
symbol of Life; water brings as well
as a symbol of the collective unconscious
and its swirling rebirth and emergence.

Rock Tree

The swirling compression of the gases of the galaxy, bombarded by comets and asteroids, provided the base for organic life to flourish on Earth, and brought mineral and ore for mankind to manipulate.

Now nature has birthed the iron tree with its stone fruit, a tree whose resources are not so easily plundered, not so easily consumed.

Steel, River Rock. John Wooten IV, Seattle, WA. Sale price $12,000.

 

 

The Earth is Our Mother - I made this
sculpture when my first grandchild
was conceived.

It is a visual metaphor of the fact that
we are all made from the very essence
of the Earth’s elements and are completely dependent on her for existence and
nurturance.

Her beauty and music lulls us to rest
and peace; she is our mother in every way.

Cast Aluminum. Cordelia Bradburn,

In the final sculpture in Nevada some Tsunami debris will be included as a homage and remembrance of the Japanese lives lost in the recent Tsunami.

Dance

“The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie.” (Agnes de Mille) Two ornamental lacy curtains, curled around each other in a sensual tango.

The metal was made into elaborate filigree, transparent and delicate like two meters of iron tulle dancing in the wind.

Wrought iron. Miran Elbakya, Delta, BC. Sale price $5,500.

               

Perseus

Perseus questions the relationship between heaven and earth; it is always dynamic, and occasionally strained. Man has at many points tried to bring the two closer together, and this piece is a reference to that relationship.

The legs nod to the tower of Babel, and the pendulum is symbolic of the man-made construct of time, which is infinite but still artificial, an allegory of our attempts to grasp heaven.

Steel, Rock, Solar panels, LEDs, Mirror. Miguel Edwards, Seattle, WA. Sale price $22,000.
