About the work
Title: Seeking Nature

Art form: 3-D

Medium: Porcelain/Wood Background

Year created: 2011

Description of work: Seeking Nature is an organic sculpture of moving and static fractions of life. The repetitive composition of nature is emphasized.

Fourteen sculptures formulate this work.

Each sculpture is a magnification of nature. Included are chrysanthemum petals, sea urchin spines, and coral.

The simple repetition of nature is calming. When I explore nature I am searching for the "deep breath" response, the release from our human-made problems.
