Mermaid


This abstraction was inspired by my life-long adoration of mermaids. The movie "Splash" came out in the mid 80's, and being an impressionable child, I decided to take salt baths in the hopes of growing my own fins. Years later, sans fins, the ocean still holds a powerful mysticism over me.

The fin is Nova Scotia sea kelp. Once dried, it became hard enough to drill through. The breasts are metal from MIT's Media Lab construction site, and the driftwood is from Plum Island. Additional materials: wire, chain, beads.

Urchins From Many Walks


These are the railroad tracks in Medfield where I found the tie for the Urchins sculpture. One boy noticed me taking his picture and started dancing. Watching, I was reminded of "Stand By Me".






Here is a compilation of relics from various walks. At the top is a porous, man-made rock from Webb Memorial State Park, one of the loveliest of the Boston Harbor Islands. Balanced below is a railroad tie I found while hiking across the tracks out by my hometown. The curved driftwood is from Cape Cod, and either end is lightly covered with bark that holds the same purplish hue of the rock. Suspended from the wood are coconut shells sitting atop sea urchin spines which make the most delicate sound when they clink together.

Falling Leaves



















This curved piece of driftwood was found elegantly burned in the sand dunes of Falmouth, Cape Cod. Thinking it resembled a tree branch, I bent wire and added the brackets to mimic dried leaves falling from a limb.
