UNLIN, Italian Alabaster  T BARNY 1986

When I look back at my career as a sculptor, I'm amazed to discover that I have created 35 trefoils prior to The Year Of The Mobius. "UNLIN" (pictured above) was the very first one; I did this in 1986. It is a true classic trefoil and was the inspiration for the "Bronze Series" which came later. On August 18 at The Year Of The Mobius I will be unveiling 2 new trefoils! Last night I looked over these past 35 images. I realized that while the form is universal, making trefoils is remarkable and it is extremely rare to have 2 in one show. 

I'm Back from Park City, Utah!

Park City, Utah was a treat to visit again. I was honored at a solo show of my sculpture on Saturday, January 16th at the DISTRICT Gallery located at 1105 Iron Horse Drive in Park City. All of my pieces were carefully packed here in Healdsburg, shipped and arrived safely to Utah. The gallery owner, Karen Snizik Alvarez, was thrilled to see my newest work such as TRACERY pictured above. I carved it from a block of Italian Alabaster. It measures 16"H x 10"W x 6"L. It was great to see my pieces in her new 3000 square foot space. It was also great to see many familiar faces at the reception. It was fun to have sculptor, Ed Fraughton, attend my reception and invite me to see his studio. I had a great time visiting his Salt Lake City studio and foundry. In the other photograph I'm pictured with Kacy & Dusty LaHaye. We are standing next to ELARA B; one of the bronze pieces on exhibit.
I've now shown in over 300 exhibits and shows in the past 30 years. And I have quite a schedule for 2010. Watch for what's next!
