Freeform Stone Series: "Brooding Secret"
Ok I'm back after a bit of a school craziness to continue this series with a piece carved in alabaster, mostly. The top layer is cast glass that is clear with inclusions of colour that match the stone. The whole thing rocks on the granite base, and has a rather womb-like feel to it. The glass top piece behaves like a floating translucent skin, and the little ball is removable. Something valuable is tucked away, growing, moving and turning it's way into certainty.
Either that or maybe it's a UFO. Thoughts?

It a shell from another planet found in huge ocean of unknown...shell was my first and last association
That's a great picture. You're not the first to suggest something like that. Makes sense!
I saw this piece as a mother protector shell. But then I have Mother of Pearl shells that are really dear to me. So association was immediate. Your forms are different again and so beautiful.
Ah, that seems perfectly appropriate. Of course! Glad you like it. Thanks for stopping in and appreciating!
