A Reptile's Tears
An exploration into the idea of crocodile tears: the display of sadness that a predator displays while it devours
The Giving Tree
Mixed Media, 2016, 18” high 20” wide 17” deep
There is a Shel Silverstein book by the same name which has been read to almost all children, everywhere, for decades. It needs to stop.
The little boy in that book took everything it could from the tree and the tree was happy to be reduced to a stump, “because it loved him”.
This is a textbook abusive relationship; it is a terrible thing to teach children to emulate. The tree in this sculpture isn’t having any of that. It keeps its fruits hid
Monarch of the Swamp
One of These Days
One of These Days (We all end up feeding worms)
the Elephant in Every Room
This is a sculpture of an elephant waving a tiny flag, while trampling on a much larger one.
(I'm not sure if this is too subtle.)
