cubed

made of handmade paper -- a study in simplicity

asiatic

handmade paper, bamboo, carpet warp, and copper wire -- the balance and symmetry of asia - harmony in design

diety

wood, bamboo, metal, and wire -- indicative of those things we envision and create from our minds to represent a higher power -- different visions in every culture but always the same in faith

coyote hunter

rusted metal, horse hair, handmade paper, animal teeth, metal rings, and bkf rives all come together to create - coyote hunter -

the offering

created from seed pods and bone -- it is that which we have offered up to the gods to pay homage and ask for protection from those things that we fear or don't understand -- it is the belief that a higher power will gather us together and lead us to be free and accepting of others and the differences that we perceive but are not in actuality real

mystique

mystique is a piece that i created by taking a gourd and wrapping cut metal around the side -- the top is capped with metal embellishment and red metal bead- red metal wire wraps around the gourd, capped at one end by a red metal bead and ending its journey with a bead of chinese amber-- the piece represents the character of nature, the spirit and inclination to which nature leads us on our journey through our life, the discovery of something new that is ever present around us and only requires that we open our eyes to see it
