 The National Small Sculpture Invitational 2008
includes my Marker Maquettes. While
they are exhibited in Desert Art Collection & Sculpture
Garden in Palm Desert, California, for the month
of November, I believe they will be shown on
the following two websites for several months, http://www.desertartcollection.com/events/index.htm and http://www.artandsculpture.us/page0089.htm |

Deep Earth Markers I, II, III,
which I am constructing here, now overlook
the river in the City of St. Joseph Riverfront
Park, part of the Krasl
Sculpture Invitational 2008. If you happen
to be up that way before
September, 2009, you can visit them
The focus of the 13-month long outdoor show
is the environment and how the art and the
artist address the issue. In these new works,
I reflect on the ecological crossroads where
our world now finds itself. The surface carving
alludes to the eons of geologic activity
and layers of human influence that have contributed
to the current environmental crisis.
 Completion
of these works was partially funded by a grant
from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
