Oceanic Inspiration
Winding veils round their heads, the women walked on deck. They were now moving steadily down the river, passing the dark shapes of ships at anchor, and London was a swarm of lights with a pale yellow canopy drooping above it. There were the lights of the great theatres, the lights of the long streets, lights that indicated huge squares of domestic comfort, lights that hung high in air.
No darkness would ever settle upon those lamps, as no darkness had settled upon them for hundreds of years. It seemed dreadful that the town should blaze for ever in the same spot; dreadful at least to people going away to adventure upon the sea, and beholding it as a circumscribed mound, eternally burnt, eternally scarred. From the deck of the ship the great city appeared a crouched and cowardly figure, a sedentary miser.

Which treats of the first sally the ingenious Don Quixote made from homeThese preliminaries settled, he did not care to put off any longer the execution of his design, urged on to it by the thought of all the world was losing by his delay, seeing what wrongs he intended to right, grievances to redress, injustices to repair, abuses to remove, and duties to discharge.

Airplane
Copper wire, wood base. I created this piece in late 2008. For this work, I aimed to convey both the industrial heaviness of an airplane, but also the cloudlike floating quality you feel when you’re in one.

Meteor Shower
I looked up at the night sky to find the stars performing a remarkable silent ballet. I watched alone for a few moments before waking my partner. The two of us quickly pulled on our slippers and walked into the backyard for a better view.

The Bobolink
The bobolink is the only american bird with a white back and a black underbelly. In the past, this bird was sometimes referred to as “rice bird” due to its penchant for eating grains. It can be found throughout North America and Canada.
The first time I saw a bobolink, I thought it was flying upside-down! It is far more common for the underbelly of a bird to be lighter than its back. -

- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 2 28-ounce cans of whole tomatoes
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Add red pepper flakes, garlic, onion, most of the oregano, basil and mint (save a little bit of each for the end), sugar salt and pepper. Turn on the burner and slowly turn it up to hot. When the onions and garlic start to cook, stir and heat for five minutes.
- Remove the pot from the burner and place a heat diffuser over the burner. Place the pot over the heat diffuser and add the tomatoes. Turn burner to medium high and stir until they start to boil. Then reduce to simmer, partially cover and simmer 90 minutes.
- After 90 minutes, remove from heat and add the reserved herbs and Parmesan cheese. Add the butter to round out the flavors. Stir again and serve.
