For my former teacher on her 86th birthday
I personally love carnelian since I first saw it in the wall panels inside the Taj Mahal. It's such a beautiful but someone mysterious stone and I love the fact that it glows when light is shined through it. My teacher, Joan, is a very elegant lady with still black hair and one striking streak of white at the front. I knew these would look fabulous on her. AND THEY DO!
A kiss to say, 'I love you'
Wayan, I'm back again to celebrate this beautiful sculpture that I gave to my sister and her husband. Unique in its expression of the kiss. My sister has overcome alcoholism, two bad marriages but now this long third marriage has overcome so many obstacles and throughout the years and they are still together. You, Wayan, are a master for expressing relationship. I so love your work. And your finishes are done so well. In addition, your use of black is so expressive with this piece: the eye flows up to the "The Kiss." Bravo.
