Silentium

The years that have passed have seen me engaging in many different contemplative practices.  My involvement in qigong and other meditative practices have inspired this high relief, fused with my religious roots and the fact that I recently taught a section on Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise.  I call it Silentium (latin for you can guess what).  

I enjoy the intellectual challenge of the relief; somewhere between sculpture and the trompe l'oeil inherent in 2-dimensional drawing--vanishing points appear in an x-y-z grid.
