The sculpture is a
representation of
the spiritual connection
between the eagle
and man. Steel &
Brass. Richard Allen,

 For Their Own Good
For their own good is an offhand remark made when rationalizing a questionable action. This hand of strength, set in a gentle pouring
motion, transforms into an ageless glove—a glove of subtle control, ranging from quiet manipulation to polished propaganda. Verifying intent reveals the truth—altruistic, misguided or self serving? Tough questions---for our own good. Bronze & black granite, Tim Wulf, Seattle, WA. $5,700
|

Legend
The top faces look backward and forward. They say, “Be watchful and remember.” Turtle is longevity and silence. The dark face behind Turtle says what’s in Turtle’s heart. Bird has flown far. He screams! The face behind speaks for Bird. White Face watches us from the European window. He waits! Cedar beam, plexiglass, plywood, acrylic paint, polyurethane. William Rutherford, Portland, OR. $3,500
|
Sine Wave
Sine Wave is about the resolution of dualities
and the acceptance of change, paradox and the irrational. Concrete & pigment. Marion-Lea Jamieson, Vancouver, BC. $2,000
|
The Night Watchman
The shape of the stone dictates what will be carved from it. I try to leave a portion of the raw natural stone incorporated within the finished piece. This reminds people that it is stone and what some of it looked like naturally. The wing of the owl was the raw stone in the original sculpture. Bronze, from the original, carved from Brown limestone.
W. Leon White, Seattle, WA. $5,300
|
TREE OF LIFE Tree of Life represents the universal life force we all share as children of a common mother—earth. Canadian limestone. Tracy Powell, LaConner, WA $3000
|
Prosperity Portal
This piece was designed incorporating elemental aspects of feng shui and the I Ching. It invites good energy to enter while deflecting harmful energy. The spirit or cosmic breath of the dragon is believed to influence natural but intangible forces in the environment which translate
into auspicious and inauspicious luck. Mixed-media: fiberglass, tile, brick, steel, wood. Lynn Jönsson, Tacoma, WA. $15,000
|
Southern Confluence
Inspired by a trip to South America, Southern Confluence is a metaphor about blending cultures and materials. It utilizes found objects & recycled materials to form a monument in which “The whole is greater than
the sum of its parts.” Steel, glass & cast concrete. Shirley Erickson Bellingham, WA. $4,500
|
Struggle I Struggle I is a part of my struggle "maquette" series of five sculptures meant to be a progression. My goal in building them was to represent the evolution of struggle with the goal being to transcend into something harmonic and peaceful. Struggle I is the most rigid as are the beginning stages of a struggle. Each stage thereafter becomes less rigid, representing the positive opportunities of conflict. Steel. Pam Hom, Mt. Vernon, WA $15,000

Dove
The Dove is a representation of international peace.
Stainless Steel. Charles Fitzgerald, Puyallup, WA. $8,000
