Two works from the FAM inspired this work: Joyce Tenneson’s Fork Shaped Tree and Vase circa 1910, unknown artist. I like the mystical quality of Tenneson’s work. The green vase appealed to my love of materiality and earthiness. I used cold wax and alabaster dust mixed in with some handmade earth pigments to build up the surface a bit. The juxtaposition of the weighty earthiness of the landscape and the ethereal lightness of the sky are meant as a metaphor for the human condition.

Waiting for Spring – Chestnut Hill Farm

I often walk the trails at Chestnut Hill Farm or just sit and observe. These dirt mounds are sitting out in the field, seemingly waiting to be used when the weather warms up. I like their strong solid forms which, while conveying a confident sense of purpose, are also gentle and humble.
