SCULPTURE
I make these pieces out of joy and curiosity.
With a spiritual basis, their stories often unfold during their creation.

Love Shack, Acrylic and beads on wood,
21" x 18" x 1© A.Kimberlin Blackburn 1999
A pyramid home/sanctuary for two lovers nestled in the garden
and held between two entwined snakes.
I have used the entwined snake image often to express
old concepts of Goddess healing,expanded love and playful delight.
The title of this piece is somewhat irreverent,
meant to be a whimsical,tongue in cheek comment
on the grass shack in paradise.

Features the farmer amidst the glistening taro
which are fed by the blue water and the red earth.
The taro's roots live in the red earth
and patterns of the different elements in the soil feed the plant.

Garden Party, Acrylic and beads on wood,

She is with Green Man in the Garden. She with her palms held up,
dressed in a wide skirt with the fish in the center.
Her Fish comes from the sea, where her "sister"
Our Lady of the Waters sends her to Garden.
The couple stand on the path lit by sparkling Sun,
a golden path that originates from within Earth
where the Beloved sign guides and nourishes their relationship.
A fertile, colorful garden with raucous patterns and
plants delight in each others company,
astride and rooted in Mother's good red soil.

with the eternal clock - rhythm.

Message From The Garden, Acrylic & beads on wood,

for those who plant them to hear.
