Inspired by the tale of Mabon’s rescue and return in the Welsh legend, “The Mabinogion." The fish is a symbol for the Deep or Authentic Self… so the man riding the fish can be seen as a metaphor for the return of the Soul.

Alchemy...once considered merely the medieval science of converting base metals into gold...is now believed by many to symbolize the Soul’s Journey from a state of suffering and limitation to a state of wisdom and peace. “The Alchemist” is an image which embodies this often challenging Journey, where acceptance is the key to transformation.

Inspired by a Rainer Maria Rilke poem from Rilke’s Book of Hours, “Love Poems to God,” translated by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy, 1996.

“It feels as though I make my way through massive rock like a vein of ore alone, encased. I am so deep inside it I can’t see the path or any distance: everything is close and everything closing in on me has turned to stone.

Since I don’t know enough about pain, this terrible darkness makes me small. If it’s you, though---press down hard on me, break in that I may know the weight of your hand, and you, the fullness of my cry.”

This sculpture speaks of the Soul’s Journey into the depths of Being. A journey which often feels like a frightening descent but, in truth, reunites us with the mystery of the Eternal. Inspired by the poem, “Oceans” by the Spanish mystic poet, Juan Ramon Jimenez, from his book, Light and Shadows: Selected Poems and Prose of Juan Ramon Jimenez, 1987.

“I have a feeling that my boat has struck, down there in the depths, against a great thing.

And nothing happens! Nothing......Silence......Waves......

-----Nothing happens? Or has everything happened, and are we standing now, quietly, in the new life?”

The Cross of New Life was commissioned in 1991 by Holy Family Parish of Inverness, Illinois. This project, completed in 1996, included the creation of a 33″ sculpture edition, as well as a sixteen-foot-tall suspended figure. The suspended figure (the largest acrylic sculpture cast to date) was created in collaboration with the Chicago architectural firm, DeStefano and Sons, and the Long Island foundry, Fine Art Acrylic. Engineered to be suspended thirty feet above the church floor, it has an elaborate theatrical lighting system and a mechanical system to lower the sculpture for cleaning.
