Contents Under Pressure          2006

This window has been shown the most of any of my work. It's big-- 19" x 30"--and heavy--about 30 lbs. I don't often do representational images, but this volcano is anatomically correct, made in 2006 at a somewhat rough point in my life.

Early in it's career, it got shown in several MA group shows: Salem, Lynn and Marblehead. Later, as part of a two-person show at the Firehouse Center for the Arts in Newburyport.

Retired since 2008, it was juried in to the Transformation show in Beverly, MA in June 2012.

Also, I recently used it as a teaching tool for "anti-peace" in the natural world with a group of elementary school children. Since its return, volcanoes have begun erupting all over the world. Wonder what that means?

Ingredients include sea glass, light filaments from an old Sylvania plant, stone, shell, pottery and wire. People seem to love it, but I don't know where would be the right place for it to find a permanent home...except my living room where it currently resides.
