At the suggestion of Denise Cole, owner of Cole Gallery, I recently had a new patina applied to a sculpture that I had cast last year. The sculpture is entitled Embrace and now has a traditional patina. Denise liked it so much that she invited me to install Embrace just outside the entrance to the gallery. I recently was riding my bike by the gallery and noticed the afternoon sun on the sculpture in a way that I felt really made the sculpture glow.
