Notes: From stormy weather to sunshine - for my current piece, I selected “Solar I,” the first of three pieces in a series inspired by the sun’s energy. Not only does this piece represent its inspiration, it also reflects the energy of the process used to create it. As in ‘Stormy Weather’ I used aggressive power carving to simulate brush strokes, and then added paint to the surface. As a sculptural painting, the carving and paint render deep shadows, highlights and visual energy.
