My piece, Caring, has just won Best of Show in a local exhibit. How nice!
At 40″ high, this piece is nearly life-sized. To enhance the message I’ve included little thoughts throughout. He thinks, “I rely on you.” She thinks “I’m here for you, you can count on me,” and so forth.
This piece is part of my “Body Language” series. Each one shows bodies (or parts of bodies) in various positions which tell their own stories. See more of them.
It was a joy to design these pieces. In each one I tried to edit out as much as possible, while still keeping the message in tact. I wanted them to be both universal and personal at the same time. For instance, in Reconciliation , above, is it showing a husband and wife hugging? Two women? A parent and their grown child? Your answer will depend on your life experience.
These pieces are mounted onto Plexiglas, which makes them hard to ship, so I’m always happy when I can show them locally. If you want to see Caring and also Security in person, vision Studios of Cocoa Beach between now and November 19th.

P.S. Caring is available for purchase. (And I have a free audition-it-in-your-home program.)
Congratulations again! All the pieces in your series are wonderful.
