About two years ago my good friend Dave Senner called me and invited me to lunch at Katie Downs restaurant on the Tacoma waterfront. As we walked into the restaurant he pointed to a large photograph on the wall to the right of the door. Little did I know that once again a seemingly simple event would forever change my life.

The Photograph of a cannery worker on a dock holding a large, I’m talking huge, King salmon, was taken by Asahel Curtis in 1909, a well known early Northwest Photographer, brother of Edward Curtis.

A sculpture is a poem without words. This week I’ve had the direct happiness of installing two works. Each work quiet in its own way and yet each with a great deal to say. The first is a mobile, “Dancing Spirits” in a clinic in Yelm. This work is of hot shop glass and steel. We blew the glass at the Rubino studios in Olympia. The lobby of the clinic is architectural and linear featuring large windows letting in immense amounts of light perfect for the glass, since glass is all about light.
