Moon and Tides

The hand-hammered metal discs represent the changing phases of the moon meeting the horizon. Hanging at the bottom is a metal disc with a rusted patina symbolic of tidal flows responding to the moon's pull.

Star Agate

This hanging sculpture was created as a blessing for a friend's infant daughter. Coiled around driftwood is wisteria vine which represents reaching and growth. The small rose quartz stones sitting along the wire are for the heart chakra and inner peace, the star is for inspiration, and the agate is to imbue truth.

Full Pine Moons

Sitting in the Arnold Arboretum last month, I watched the full moon rise above the pines. Several unseen critters were doing the same nearby.

Representing the 13 full moons every year, these luminous shells each vary in detail like the lunar stages. They're suspended from delicate Maine driftwood and ultimately secured by a pine cone which I found while hiking through a small area in the Blue Hills that had been subjected to forest fire. Most of the trees were charred and ashen, giving things a silvery hue. Resting on the top of the cone and each piece of wood sits a tiny shell.

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.

Agate Embryo

A wing of driftwood represents the stork, the rusted wrench symbolizes the potential challenges of fertilization, and the agate illustrates the embryo. When light shines through, you can get lost in all the detailed complexities within the slice of rock just as you can within a new life.
