CURRENT STUDIO PROJECTS
- Sculpture Set Concept and Form Studies -
This sketch started as a study for my full-sized sculptures. Note: Full sized sculpture would be of aluminum outer shell and colored glass or acrylic inner cores - approximately 3-5 feet tall. Originally visualized in a meditation as characters of moving energy, as if they had individual personalities and colors - interestingly, the actual hand-sculpted materialized forms take on more of a stylized geode form. - Form Studies - Below is the first theme with different versions to compare. The studies below are more conceptual than the sculptures. Without telling you what I think the form studies in color below could also represent, here are some keywords which work well for a few different thoughts: energy, geode, kiva, ice cave, portal, waterfall.. some people have said they look like a standing bear or an aerial view of lake. Much time this year has gone into the study of American Indian mythology, art, architecture, culture, and spirituality - I hope to work some of this into the feel of the art in some ways.
Comments and suggestions welcome. -- Ty |


looking at the above as the opening of a cave covered over with ice,
you can visualize
in bottom right corner what looks to be a piece of gray pottery frozen inside.

is this a view from inside looking out? or outside looking in?
