"A Mother's hand is the fuel that enables normal people
to achieve the IMPOSSIBLE"

My Mother was the study for this sculpture.  As we spent quiet hours together in the studio, I took great care to appreciate the true depth and meaning of the hands I saw before me. I imagined them holding me as a child.  The hands that reared my spirit, the hands that carried all that I am. 

This sculpture represents un-measured aspects of a Mother, the complex decisions that her hands make.  The combination of millions of small maternal gestures that together add up in the most beautiful complex outcome … you. What better way to express this than with the mystical and irrational number π?

The mystery of Pi

π is one of the great mysteries of mathematics.  It is to math what a quantum particles is to physics - one of the fundamental building blocks.  π in its essence is the heart of all that is circular in the universe. If you look closely at this sculpture you may understand the nature of π just a little bit better.  Try and understand how this abstract constant interacts with the world around you.  Explore,  stand closer, go further….see how π interacts with you and your environment.
