“Continuous Line in Space”, limestone/ steel, 52” x 26” x 36”
The model for this work was a broken seashell and is based on an endless edge that defines a central negative space. Like natural water and wind-sculpted bridges, the forms found in broken parts of a shell are not only beautiful, but also structurally sound. Limestone gives body to this “Continuous Line in Space” by joining its circuitous adjacent parts forming a delicate, spiraling, upper bridge portion of the work, and a long curving channel through the lower body of the piece. Continuous Line in Space is currently located on the outdoor sculpture patio of The Seedboat Gallery in Silver City, NM.

“Departure”, bronze/ sandstone, 8’ x 4’ x 3’6”
This piece is an abstract representation of a bird on its perch beginning to spread its wings for flight. Divergent egg forms (the universal source) portray the body of the bird, while the ovoid head balances on the body and is pointed upward for flight. The wings are formed in the long curving space of the divergence and appear to be lifting out of the body. “Departure” symbolizes the rise of diversity (cultural, physical, sexual, etc.) from a ubiquitous source. Departure can be seen in front of the Arts and Science Center on the Eastern NM University Roswell Campus.

“Germination”, black chlorite/ marble, 8’6” x 3’ x 2’6”
“Germination” (coming into being; growth) portrays the emerging leaves of a plant as a metaphor for the workings of a metropolitan court. Viewed from the right, the sculpture reveals a gradual unfolding of the leaves, representing a court environment that encourages openness to conflict resolution. From the left, the piece depicts a progressive closure of the leaves suggesting just resolutions to disputes heard by the court. The cubes from which the leaves emerge represent justice under the law and are meant to emphasize the common origin of those serving and being served by the court, ensuring that justice will be carried out in an atmosphere of respect and dignity. Germination is installed in the elevator lobby of the State of NM Metropolitan Courthouse in Albuquerque, NM.

“The Moon in Bondage”, Temporary Installation Made for the Environment, bamboo/ marble, 8'6” x 4' x 4' (in collaboration with Arthur Rosenberg)
A sliver of the waning moon is held in protective custody from the petroleum-based degradation of the sky. The shape of the bamboo pyramid that elevates our eyes to the sky, where a waxing moon may be returned once a its natural habitat has been healed, states an element of hope.

“The Bridge to Knowledge”, Mild Steel/ concrete, 9’6” x 20’ x 12’6”   
A geometric, pyramidal, arched form rising from a three tiered stained concrete pedestal, and finished with a time worn patina. The landforms of the site undulate and cover parts of the pedestal making the piece appear to be an ancient uncovered ‘find’. This ‘excavated’ truth form expresses the realization of an education. Each of the twelve interlocking triangles symbolizes a building block, dependent upon all others during the quest for knowledge.The Bridge to Knowledge stands in front of the Support Services Building on The Central NM Community College Campus in Albuquerque.

“Wings”, black chlorite/ stainless steel, 30” x 31” x 11”
A commission work based on the form of a Canada Goose on landing in a wetland pond, and rising up to aerate its wings. This ‘fluffing’ movement creates a beautiful form, the essence of which I have tried to capture in three-dimensional design and stone carving. Wings is installed in the lobby fountain of the Hotel Andaluz in Albuquerque, NM
