Colorado marble on mahogany base, approx 10″ by 14″ by 17″ , 1984. Private collection.
Rather than being permanently mounted on its base, the sculpture is meant to rock, which it certainly did during the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989. This sculpture can also spin, and my nephew calls it the breakdancing buddha.
carved in lignum vitae, a very dense and oily hardwood. 21″ by 9″ by 5″
This figure honors the strength and courage of incarcerated women. I wanted to make an image of a woman who was so grounded and clear, she would never burn out.
