UPDATE 2/13/19: The first photo is from the photo shoot done with Kathy Daly, who did an excellent job. The sculpture was suspended inside “The Eye on the Horizon” on a very windy day! We had to further restrain it using monofilament fishing line. I also changed the halo on the sculpture, turning it into a spiral, with the idea of it drawing in energy from the Source.
This is my latest/older creation which is appropriate as we celebrate the new year and say goodbye to the old. I say 'older' because this idea was conceived 27 years ago, hence the picture of my son Lucas (who is but 2 weeks old) and I working on the 2' high wire model.
There are several pictures of the sculpture in progress. I created it out of 1/4 copper tubing, which is quite soft and malleable and then becomes hard when hand worked. It's 4x larger then the model standing at 8' tall and is about 6' wide. It only weighs a mere 12.5 lbs!
I installed the sculpture on the roof of my front porch, with the help of the same son. (This is why I had to wait 27 years to create it!) I learned a lot about spotlights vs. floodlights, lumens, etc. in illuminating it. I do want to make a base mount for it so the sculpture isn't cluttered by wires and poles. Then I want to take to a hill where I can photograph it with the Rockies or heavens behind it.
Yes, this sculpture is about bringing Light to the darkness; to the world. We need to remember to focus on the Light, even in the days of tRump, or the darkness can overwhelm us.
