TOTEMS

When I was working with steel I got very interested in totems. I think mostly I was drawn to the tall, narrow uprightness of them. All these totems are approximately 4 feet tall.


THE FISH GUARDIAN wears a copper screen vest with a verdigris patina. Copper rivet buttons hold it in place. A small fish gazes up through the surface at it's protector.


HOLDING AUTUMN LIKE A CAT...This title came from a passage I read in a book many years ago..."the old woman held autumn on her lap like a cat".


BEATUS EST PISCICULUS...or BLESSED IS THE LITTLE FISH......what else can I say, I just like fish.


TURTLE RACES...this piece comes with three stone and steel turtles.
