My series, Acephale (headless god), came by how individuals and societies project themselves onto abstract forms. We use nature to reflect, relax, and withdraw; ultimately "finding" ourselves within it. Acephale’s commanding presence, inspired by features such as mountains, forests and caves, invites viewers to contemplation and meditation.

Ancestor is a simple vertical form with the soft lilt and bend of many ancient markers.
