Heliotrope
Completed in 2009, this sculpture is carved from Orange Alabaster on a base of Steatite, (20" x 18" x 8")
The Heliotrope is a flower that turns to face the sun, uses the warmth and rays to grow and move. The light illuminates the stone as if there is a sun inside of it, perhaps turning inward.
