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. -

- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 4 crushed garlic cloves
- ¾ cup chopped onion (optional)
- 1 tsp. fresh chopped oregano
- 1 tbsp. chopped basil
- 1 tsp. chopped mint

- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 2 28-ounce cans of whole tomatoes
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
Instructions
- Before you begin, pour your two cans of tomatoes into a bowl and crush with your hand. Don’t break them up too small, you want large chunks.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, pour in olive oil. 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.

MERLIN FORETELLS THE BIRTH OF ARTHUR
CHAPTER 1
King Vortigern the usurper sat upon his throne in London, when, suddenly, upon a certain day, ran in a breathless messenger, and cried aloud—
“Arise, Lord King, for the enemy is come; even Ambrosius and Uther, upon whose throne thou sittest—and full twenty thousand with them—and they have sworn by a great oath, Lord, to slay thee, ere this year be done; and even now they march towards thee as the north wind of winter for bitterness and haste.” -
