Tabletop & More Works

So I recently recieved images from India for several new works. First is a marble bar table top which features a mix of narrative and abstract elements.
The whimsical Humpty element has been translated from one of my "Until the End of Time" silk paintings (60"x36", 2007). "Until the End of Time" is a series of postmodern silk panel paintings, combining Mother Goose fairy tales, Japanese pornographic Manga, and the abstract design process. The original concept was intended for marble and semi precious stone inlays with the same dimensions as the silk paintings, and will be realized as such sometime in the near future.

Also, new photos of the finished studio black marble Offerings featuring male and female entities. The malachite looks particularly striking when polished! (black marble with lapis lazuli, tiger eye, alabaster & red marble inlay - 30").

Final 48" pieces.











Here are some images of the final 48" pieces before their shipment to California. They have arrived safely and will be installed soon. There are seven pieces in total, yellow marble with red marble and white alabaster inlay. Each piece is signed with a lapis lazuli inlay and each piece also has a small additional semi-precious stone inlay.

More From India


So we got some good news about pieces finishing up in India and almost on their way out to the studio and to Santa Barbara! Here are some of the pictures of the new 36" pieces. They are made of white marble, lapis lazuli, tiger eye, carnelian & malachite. I will update with special spiritual meanings and histories of each stone later! Take a look.












As you can see, there is a white marble inlay in the white marble. The white on white look is very pristine and the carnelian and malachite pieces look great, I think.

Can't wait for them to arrive!
