These are a few impromptu photos of the new half life size bronzes, still in the clay, that I've just fiinished for a park in Colorado devoted to laughter. They are enlargements, with some changes, of the Alternative Energies Series pieces I did a couple of years ago. The top figure is Wind, and her closeup, Water and his closeup and then Sun and her closeup. Better photos will follow when the pieces are cast in bronze in a couple of months.
The bronze pieces are cast in hot
bronze at a local foundry, and the artist assists in the patina of every piece.

Jetter and Martha
Life
size bust of two of my friends in Santa Fe.
Jetter is African
American and Apache. She and her husband Tom started the Santa Fe Branch
of the NAACP. I met her at an NAACP meeting and wanted to sculpt her
because I found her so beautiful. I don't know her well but she is always
gentle
and gracious. Martha is an old friend with whom I've had many delightful
talks. She was a liberal journalist in Kansas during the McCarthy era,
raised 7 children on her own after the death of her husband, and at
86
maintains
a sharp and inquisitive intellect combined with deep self-reflection.
The piece is also a result of several months of working on the process
of dialogue with a peace group in Santa Fe. This sculpture
will also be available in resin.
