“Autobiographies,” bronze, cast stone,

8.5’ x 10’ x 5’

This piece is a meditation on the episodic character of life, specifically my own. Geometry has been an abiding interest. Triangles, the strongest shape, are very useful for creating structure. The towers with the flowing forms emerging from the tops represent to me the freedoms and little breakthroughs that come with growth and insight. The cut-off tree represents my feelings as a child when my family moved so often, leaving behind familiar schools, friends, neighborhoods. I realized while making this piece that turning the cut branches down would give it great stability, analogous to what I’ve done with my metaphorical cut-off branches, turning them into roots. I built my house in 1965 and have never moved.
