Never Enough    approx 6'ft tall AVAILABLE

In our post 9/11 society, we have become ever more fearful. Security is our overriding concern. Never Enough takes this anxiety to far extremes, the head overflowing with embedded codes and every inch crammed with locks, holds, and clamps.

Security    70"h x 42"w AVAILABLE

 Security embodies our anxiety: a locked, clenched figure lost in a dark night of keys.

Fossil Skins    56”h x 45"h AVAILABLE

First Apron Excavation    50”h x 33”w AVAILABLE

Generational Fossil    46”h x 30”w AVAILABLE

Witness to the Past  #1,  #2  &  #3    life size AVAILABLE

These aproned, human forms are based on the costume of an old Russian shaman. The upholstered white scissor sections represent the backbones, both denoting the actual skeletal structure and epitomizing lives of hard work.  Wearing vintage aprons and quilt fragments, each Witness to the Past holds obsolete tools, suggesting the magical tool kits carried by shamans.

These figures guard our ancestral memories.
