Is Detroit sinking, or is it rising? It's a question I've been wondering about since I was a kid growing up there.

War Dog is a sculpture about sham, the artifice of violence. It is blind, dumb, worn out. 


The form the sculpture takes was inspired by Lee Bontecou's early work. (See the photo right) She has always been a favorite and an inspiration. 

Diopetes

This sculpture has a story of coincidence and miracle behind it involving the unexpected survival of a tiny dove at a time when I was reading about the history of the Black Madonna. Their stories became intertwined, as they both were Diopetes, the one who falls to earth.
