-Bells- |
These "Bells" represent an exciting new direction for us. The forms and surfaces are inspired by ancient Asian bronze bells. They are intended to be entirely sculptural and serve as meditation pieces, evoking feelings of calmness and serenity. The surfaces of the Bells are rich, full of color and subtle transitions of luminosity. The texture is soft and waxy....inviting the viewer's touch.
