Animas Sculpture - marble sculpture project - 2002 thru 2005
The following is a selection of photographs of a commisioned sculpture project I did for an art patron (Tom Lawler) in Colorado. I began working on it June of 2002, and completed it October 2005. I carved it from two solid blocks of marble that weighed about 10,000 lbs total before carving, and ended up at about 6,500 lbs. in final form. It stands about 55 inches tall. Its design was inspired by one of my favorite artists, Henry Moore (whom I was lucky enough to meet in 1976), and the name came from my studies of the ideas of Carl Jung.
 

Tom, the afformentioned patron, and a really great guy. Thanks Tom for making it possible!

The beginning of installation.
I was terrified the straps would break and damage or destroy the sculpture.
Fortunately, Tom knew exactly what he was doing, and everything went smoothly.
