Description
Celtic Ring of Prosperity
The Prosperity story is on the back of each Piece.
All fates are linked. One cannot benefit from the community's loss. The outside rings represent the larger community. The interlocking rings signify that only through the cooperation of the community can true prosperity arise. The ram, bull, and dog represent the manifestation of wealth. While bestowed upon us by nature in our labor and guardianship that create our prosperity. The star knot in the center represents the prosperity of spirit that is necessary for true prosperity and the manifestations of that spirit emanating through the community. This represents an homage to winds of fate. Luck and providence are part and parcel of every endeavor. May luck be with you.
The frame dimensions are 12" x 12" and 1" deep.
Paper Casting
Paper casting is to me the perfect medium. It allows me to use almost every skill set. A typical piece begins as a drawing or two. Then I sculpt it in wax. This is a long refining process and often the image sculpted is far different than the drawing. Then I build a dam around the wax and pour a rubber mold directly off the surface. A casting is made by pressing the wet cotton pulp into the mold and extracting the water. Then I finish the surface.
While every piece that emerges from the mold is about the same, no two are really painted the same. Maybe I would if I could, but the painting process is always in flux. I am always experimenting with ways of mixing colors or washes and hard edges or new pigments. I spend about 75% of my time with the painted finishes.
