For the past decade, the focus of my small works has been an approach to each piece in which the pedestal is more then an afterthought. This integrated approach and two other occurrences stimulated the creation of sculptural vessels.

One was a move to fabricate my pedestals mostly from stone plate material in order to decrease the weight of the piece and, voila, you now have a nice interior space. The other was a talk with a friend and collector of my work who was searching for a sculpture cremation urn, and who encouraged me to consider the possibilities.

… And some further thoughts about the matter of my urns.

First and foremost these pieces are sculpture. Their creation follows the same process (more to come) of my other small and large works, with a constant attempt to reduce organic form to its essence.  The integrated piece should be enjoyed for what it is, a work of art.

The sculpture form acts as a handle to open its pedestal, and the interior space may be used as the final resting place for a loved one, or for hidden storage.

This website is the only venue for the sale of my sculptural vessels, allowing them to be priced without the overhead of gallery charges.

The header image, “Vessel II” was described in my previous entry. It is the latest addition to my series of sculpture urns.
