cool. love your work. the first one makes me think of a polynesian dancing girl. what a piece of luck (serendipity?) finding the tree tree.

You know I have never seen the shape of the tree!! I guess I've lived with the tree forever and I took so long to make the sculpture that when I stood back it was all I could see. Thanks for pointing it out to me, it works.

It happened in the waters of life
Heaven fell in our hands
The break in the water
A perforation in light
The secret birth... en masse!

wow. i really really like your work.
especially, 'Between a Rock....' & 'Manuella'.

Ben - we are born from the waters of life and as such sustained but it deserts us when darkness falls - dust to dust.
Glad you like my work, means a lot to me.

wow man... lots of cool stuff on this site... didn't realize that you were so creative... I'd love to get my trees decorated with one of the necklaces...

Hey Jon, thanks. I started making the necklaces with holes but realised I couldn't change the design once the rocks were threaded I now use a slot in the back so can mix and match shapes.
