"Idol"
"Idol"
Stoneware
September 2007

The three small figures at the base of the central figure are hopelessly fawning over something they wish to acquire but have no real hope of ever obtaining. There is a very personal story at the root of the idea for this piece. I too was one of those men at the base of this sculpture. I never expected to be lucky enough or worthy enough to be with a certain truly wonderful woman, who now happens to be my wife. The sculpture helps to remind me how truly lucky I am.
