Fun with crystals

Here are two new sculptures fresh from my studio. They are is beginning of a new body of work, which combines some of my personal iconography and family history. As a child my parents were avid rock hounds, and my sister and I were often drug into wilderness in search of quartz crystals, fossils and gold. Now, as an adult I cherish those memories as invaluable, but wonder about the false value often placed on the endless hoard of possessions that we surround ourselves with.
