The Galaxy Series of sculptures is inspired in part by David Smith's sculptures Australia and Royal Bird. But I also enjoyed the comment left by Craig Ross when I first posted images of the piece, which he called "Souped-up and Mondrian reminiscent."

I love the way these abstracts are open to various interpretations. In one glance, you might see stars, planets and moons. In another, perhaps a fish. Yet another look suggests a man riding a boat… the way these different interpretations play off of one another is what really drives the poetic essence of each sculpture, at least for me. I end up with visions of a sailor riding a fish across the sky.
Galaxy No. 3 is far too large to send FedEx Ground, so give me a call to arrange delivery or freight. I'm quite happy to deliver and install the sculpture for a reasonable charge within Michigan or the Chicago area. For longer trips, we can mutually decide a reasonable delivery fee. If you're interested, email me to discuss details.
