This seemingly chaotic surface is intended to convey the complex surface appearance in nature that often conceals the hidden structure underlying nature.īehind the shadow image are indecipherable symbols impressed into clay that represent the hidden Creative Word which is both the animating force and underlying structure of the physical world. In this particular work, the left and right edges of the clay tablet have a complex texture made by impressing natural objects on wet clay. The significance of shadows for me will be discussed in more detail in a subsequent blog in relation to another work. "Creative Word #4" also explores my interest in shadows as a metaphor.

This interest in clay ceremonial artifacts evolved into the current Clay Tablet Series. Though the symbols and scripts may no longer be understood, their use convey a story of the connection between those people and the transcendent. I have used these symbols and marks to create ceremonial clay sculptural objects that could have been artifacts unearthed from some lost civilization.

First, that the Creative Word brought all of creation into being and remains the underlying animating force that sustains, renews and governs all that was, is or will ever be.
