Makes my feel like I'm viewing some ancient, great relic that a huge culture worships.

I love your representation. The emotion captured in something as unforgiving as steel is incredible.

Than you ww Rose,
I "speak" steel and stainless steel fluently.
It takes about 20 years to master this medium, but fortunately my father was a master sculptor and taught me to weld when I was 8 years old...I've been trying to breathe life into metal ever since...

Well you've done a very good job of it!
Have you ever tried making a sculpture of animals? Particularly wolves?

Not yet but I certainly wouldn't rule it out,
I'd start with MANY photographs, then begin sketching ,and reading everything I could learn about the critter, then get a skull if I could to further study their structure. What a magnificent beast huh ?

Yes, I have. Twice actually
I'm also just about to take on the project of making a traditional Cherokee hunting bow. As in, find the tree, cut the wood, carve/shape the wood, make the bowstring, make the arrows, etc.
I'm big on traditional hunting techniques

It's wonderfully stylized and evocative. I love her expression. From what I've read, a strong and bewitching love. Something like this happened to me too, with a man from another culture... This is a striking work.

Something of her ancient culture spoke to me most eloquently,
and I could see her line back many generations.Her ancestors awoke at the purity and strength of my love. They had not seen this for a very long time...

Bazua,
Everything ends someday ,especially mortal love,but the energy does not,only transformed. That experience is part of what has made me who I am today. And I'm OK with who I am,so I honor that young man and that young woman by creating a piece that places quotation marks around the experience. Sadness is an emotion in flux like all the others and really quite transitory...

I think the objects you chose to shoot on your travels were pretty damn interesting...
I'm waiting to hear if I've won a grant,(which I'll use to travel)but it doesn't really matter,I need another trip to Europe. I need to go to Bilbao to the Guggenheim,Barcelona for Gaudi,and Paris for the Rodin Museum and Victor Horta's Art Nouveau stuff,then Provence for some R&R...
