I often turn to my extensive Asian travels for inspiration.  This work, “Love Buddha”, was derived from photos I shot with my old Nikon FG while traveling in Laos and Cambodia in the late 1990’s.
These are a few of my original source photos & inspiration

Picture

Love Buddha – ​21.5″ x 13″ x 3″ – Handmade pottery, ceramic, dinnerware, a variety of glass, copper beads, smalti, and mirror on a hand built, cement based substrate.


 

One of the things I love most about this piece is it’s dimensionality & incorporation of mirror, which casts wonderful light and color around its environs throughout the day and changing seasons.  You can see that a bit in this photo from a gallery show.

And finally, I leave you today with this small but important detail…

The butterfly and a couple of moths, a simple reminder that spring is just around the corner.  

& LOVE, always LOVE!
