It’s even better if we can not only accept, but celebrate those differences as long as they’re loving and constructive and not hateful and destructive. The pinnacle of this caring is to actually protect those different from ourselves. It goes against our tribal instincts to protect only our own, but it is the truest meaning of “love thy neighbor”. And it also means to love our “enemy”, who is often perceived as a threat because of their differences. The crystal they both carry speaks to their common humanity. 36x36x6, 9.6 lbs, reclaimed steel, copper, bronze, wood, epoxy clay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584aed5bcd0f689481e81f77/1628277709325-MT91L0AUWGVVOQKNJ1JY/image-asset.jpeg Sculptor - The Moon is Free The Moon is Free (A young person’s take on this sculpture; there is no ‘right’ title.) The workman has no time for tea; he has to pay the gas man’s fee. An automotive refugee, the landlord made evictee by raising rent rates suddenly (of course, he acted prudently with how the market’s due to be). A plague takes half his family, and yet this plague’s a falsity? His grandmother needs surgery; His great aunt Cass needs tubes to breathe (his wage won’t pay for both of these: per hour, $7.33) Amid his pain, one light has he: the moon (for now, at least) is free.

This amazing, intuitively-wrought sculpture, is made of a ball bearing, an auger blade, a fire grate leg, a gazing ball, plasma cut steel and layered glass (Thank you, Maya!).

For me, it's very much in the Native American tradition of a spirit guide.

These ancient, Jurassic age minerals (approx. 160 mya!) contain little caves containing multi-faceted crystals. At the base of the sculpture are pieces of gnarled cedar and a beautifully finished slab of elm, both of which are decades old if not surpassing the century mark! More recently the handiwork of man is evidenced by the metal bearing casing.

Paha Sapa and Kȟe Sapa. The white man says that Paha Sapa means ‘Black Hills’. I will attempt to correct their interpretation of my language. The word ‘Pa-ha’ is broken up into two meanings: Pa describes the mountains emerging from the earth. Paha Sapa all together gives you a picture and a description of our sacred mountains as seen from a distance. The Ponderosa Pine gives the illusion of black from a distance and the mountains emerging from the earth. Paha Sapa. Therefore, what you see is holy. The words ‘Kȟe Sapa’ also gives you a description of what the sacred mountains look like close up, with the white stone cliffs, the meadows and the trees and the valleys. Therefore, you know it is holy.” Russell Means 50x29x45, 300? lbs, Black Hills cedar, Paha Sapa limestone, cement, lights/pump Not for sale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584aed5bcd0f689481e81f77/1481598015135-5GI2YE05X8HYAR5KG4FB/Augured.jpg Sculptor - Augured Oil Shale Finds Gold Created with the blades of an aged augur that have been welded together and accented with 24K gold, this sculpture speaks of the arduous task of searching for natural resources such as gold!

The dove is actually white and I don’t know why it’s yellow in the picture.

Using the eroded whelk shell in the forefront of the resin-infused sand base as a model, the large, surreal whelk shell was constructed with paper clay. The ‘beach’ is adorned with LED lit sea glass and net floats. The stand is constructed out of faux driftwood. The beach setting was provided by AI, as taking this large sculpt down to Puerto Rico would have been problematic! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584aed5bcd0f689481e81f77/1768089536142-UC3ZLUSOCW7OMR2PNBIW/image-asset.jpeg Sculptor - Moana at night Shells And Stones And Sea Glass, by Lois Read I pick up shells and stones and sea glass wave-glazed and glossy still on early morning beach walks add them to those from yesterday which sit, shine gone at home upon the shelf. It seems each walk must be remembered, marked with pockets full of evidence as though the moving moment will slip out of reach without at tangible talisman. Yet once the luster leaves the sea gloss dries the sweet kiss of salt air has left my cheek the pile becomes just stones, and bits of glass something to dust around. Well then let us make a pact to savor shells and glass in situ with every other shining thing like angel wings and fleeting loves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584aed5bcd0f689481e81f77/1701722360058-728FTLN8Z8LBU4ZWXHKS/image-asset.jpeg Sculptor - Heart Pulse Heart Pulse A sense that there’s something more: an inner pulse that pushes you, an outer pulse that pulls you. How to connect the two? Yearnings lead up rugged mountains, Urges propel down flowing streams. It’s Life’s journey. The heart knows… The one is the Inner Spirit. The other is the Universal All. How do the two become one? Time & Searching & Growing & Striving At journey’s end and beginning, the heart of completeness is found. Becoming entwined, the one recognizes the other. They are as one, but still separate and distinct. Bound in Love, they radiate a subtle, but awesome Light. By Paul R.

It helped me deal with my grief as I believed she’d be “transcending” to a better place. The female was actually modeled after her granddaughter, Anica, as I think we once again revert to a state of youthful innocence and bliss. The stylized hand is that of an angel, there to vanquish all fear and aid in the transition. Multiple glass panes. upon which the soul is passing through, represents those dimensional planes that separate us from whatever lies beyond.

Kimberly Horton literally sacrificed her body for her art as her career ended when she broke her back during her last performance. She died at the age of 55 in 2020.

It’s even better if we can not only accept, but celebrate those differences as long as they’re loving and constructive and not hateful and destructive. The pinnacle of this caring is to actually protect those different from ourselves. It goes against our tribal instincts to protect only our own, but it is the truest meaning of “love thy neighbor”. And it also means to love our “enemy”, who is often perceived as a threat because of their differences. The crystal they both carry speaks to their common humanity. 36x36x6, 9.6 lbs, reclaimed steel, copper, bronze, wood, epoxy clay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584aed5bcd0f689481e81f77/1628277709325-MT91L0AUWGVVOQKNJ1JY/image-asset.jpeg Ghost Ranch Gallery - The Moon is Free The Moon is Free (A young person’s take on this sculpture; there is no ‘right’ title.)

Paha Sapa and Kȟe Sapa. The white man says that Paha Sapa means ‘Black Hills’. I will attempt to correct their interpretation of my language. The word ‘Pa-ha’ is broken up into two meanings: Pa describes the mountains emerging from the earth. Paha Sapa all together gives you a picture and a description of our sacred mountains as seen from a distance. The Ponderosa Pine gives the illusion of black from a distance and the mountains emerging from the earth. Paha Sapa. Therefore, what you see is holy.

It seems each walk must be remembered, marked with pockets full of evidence as though the moving moment will slip out of reach without at tangible talisman. Yet once the luster leaves the sea gloss dries the sweet kiss of salt air has left my cheek the pile becomes just stones, and bits of glass something to dust around. Well then let us make a pact to savor shells and glass in situ with every other shining thing like angel wings and fleeting loves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584aed5bcd0f689481e81f77/1701722360058-728FTLN8Z8LBU4ZWXHKS/image-asset.jpeg Heart Gallery - Heart Pulse Heart Pulse A sense that there’s something more: an inner pulse that pushes you, an outer pulse that pulls you. How to connect the two? Yearnings lead up rugged mountains, Urges propel down flowing streams. It’s Life’s journey. The heart knows… The one is the Inner Spirit. The other is the Universal All. How do the two become one? Time & Searching & Growing & Striving At journey’s end and beginning, the heart of completeness is found. Becoming entwined, the one recognizes the other. They are as one, but still separate and distinct. Bound in Love, they radiate a subtle, but awesome Light. By Paul R.

It helped me deal with my grief as I believed she’d be “transcending” to a better place. The female was actually modeled after her granddaughter, Anica, as I think we once again revert to a state of youthful innocence and bliss. The stylized hand is that of an angel, there to vanquish all fear and aid in the transition.

Her dance emanated from her very soul, resulting in fluid grace; beauty personified. Kimberly Horton literally sacrificed her body for her art as her career ended when she broke her back during her last performance. She died at the age of 55 in 2020. Her passing is also a reminder to all artists that we can't take life for granted. So, "Carpe diem!"
