Stardust Reunion (1996)
This
piece, Stardust Reunion, was the first piece I put into a show (I started
sculpting around 1992). The show was called Sculpture in the Garden,
an annual show put on by the Texas Sculpture Association and held at the
State Fair of Texas (where this picture was taken - you can see the Texas
flag on the hub of the giant Ferris wheel in the background). The
1996 show was juried by the Assistant Curator of Contemporary Arts of the
Dallas Museum of Art. There were 52 submissions (mostly from North
Texas artists I believe) and 8 selections. The piece is abstract,
yet captured for me the vision of two lovers, long since separated over
vast distances of time and space, reunited in a miracle of nature.
