Madonna & Child
The blue plate was originally used as the safety heat shield underneath a woodstove. Thus using it to make this sculpture is called either being thrifty / stingy - but maybe it's just being resourceful?
It was enlarged from a Christmas Card to 4.5' x 6'. It was to help celebrate love that theme, like the large scale.
It was my gift to my community, and all passers-by.

Globe with Family & Jake
Medium: Steel
Dimensions: 6 feet in diameter
Notes: Commissioned by Dave and Connie Goertzen of Greenfarm, Manitoba. The center of the globe has a pedestal for a sculpture that will depict them and their children, David and Naomi, when the children were about 3 and 1 1/2 years old, respectively. The globe rotates about once every 90 seconds. The lower bowl of the globe will be used to grow flowers or vines. The land masses on the surface of the globe were created out of approximately 1600 washers. Provision was made for lights to be placed inside the globe. This involved building a commutator in the revolving mechanism to transmit the power to the outlet. The hemispherical covering over the motor was built of 12 half disks on the bottom, with seven full disks in the upper row. The disks come a farm implement. (2003)
