Hi Jo,

I'm seeing 2 figures standing proudly over something precious, 'a child?'

I'm also seeing it as coming out of a Yin Yang - balance in all things.

I'm probably not right but I always like to see your work as it evokes so many thoughts and feelings.

Well done.

Hi all,
thanks and I like your thoughts. They are in the same meaning as I do it.
I think this method gives me much more freedom to form whatever I want.
A little hint: I see three people. The most important, sheltered, is symbolized
by the sphere.
More comments welcome
Jo

Hi Jo,

The piece evokes 2 words " Hallowed Form " in view of your past work of the Black Angel and Christmas Figures, again this is the Holy Family, Mary, Joseph and Infant Christ, the sphere symbolized as in most art forms as Life, the Family, one in togetherness, this piece could also be seen as Life's battle and the forces of Good an Evil struggling over the World, Life and US, and then maybe just the wings of a Guardian Angel watching over and keeping US safe or could it go far deeper an the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit ...  Hmm ..  I may have hit Burnout... or it's just a wooden form.

Whatever it's viewed as this is as always a truly stunning piece, I like it very much, whatever the thoughts are behind it, well done and thank you.

Hi David,
you are right, my "title" is "Holy Family". Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As always very interesting.
This object opened my eyes for more ideas using the two elements of the "Yin-Yang"-symbol.
By the way the showed piece is hollowed except the sphere.

Thanks and creatings
Jo

Well Jo,

As Roy Walker (Catchphrase) put it "say what you see" and "if you see it, say it!".....    ;D ...

Cheers,   David
