ALASKA
A Wall Sculpture
87" X 42" X 7"
Basswood, Aluminum Leaf, Shell Inlay

I did the preliminary drawings for this sculpture a few summers ago while on a seven-day kayaking adventure with my brother in the wilds of Alaska. We were constantly surrounded by water. We floated on still water that shifted colors as the depths changed. We were rained on. We paddled amongst glacial icebergs that radiated a soft blue light. The waterfalls, creating sound in an otherwise quiet terrain, entranced my senses. This sculpture captures the memory of my incredible experience in Alaska.

The mirror is on a pivot. The inset shows the piece with the mirror concealed.
