January 1992. Granite, steel. Dimensions: 16 × 10 × 6 in (41 × 25 × 15 cm). Private collection.
Vela II (S-99-01)
brings together two recurring interests in my work: tools and celestial imagery. The serrated steel form suggests a saw or cutting tool, reflecting my fascination with tools as extensions of the hand and symbols of human ingenuity and action. The granite balanced above creates a tension between natural and human-made materials, weight and equilibrium.
The title Vela comes from the southern constellation Vela, Latin for “sails.” The sail suggests navigation, movement, and journey, while the upward-reaching stone gives the sculpture a sense of propulsion and reflects my recurring interest in making heavy objects appear light.
