Stone carving for me is an intuitive process. Rarely do I work from small models or even drawings. Occasionally works evolve though stages. Each stage producing a finished sculpture can spark inspiration for another work. "Jacobs ladder" has such a linage. A predecessor, "Kokoro", was purchased by Sacks fifth Ave. and was placed in a couture section. A Twelve-foot, several-ton, work also called "Jacobs ladder" now permanently stands outside the Duke University School of Law.
