ECSTATIC GATES

About this Series

This series, “Ecstatic Gates,” is a collection of miniture shrines and chapels in celebration of the Great Mystery. Each piece is kind of shrine or alter, and has its own personality and its own “face.” I try to instill equal measures of elegance and whimsy into each piece. The suspended forms echo the delicate balances of nature while giving each piece a rhythmic movement. The bones, natural fibers, and decaying wood grains express the beauty I find in impermanence. And the shimmer of gold peeking through the doors offers a glimpse of the world beyond.
