Bronze  2000+

There are presently seven pieces in this sub-series begining with my great-great grandmother, Eliza Royal and pausing with my son's daughter, Emma. Each originated as examples of simple or elaborate ying-yang subdivision of paired disks i.e. out of one of the principal sculptural investigations which were made as vinyl inflatables. While developing some of the more attractive and anthropomorphic of these shapes as plaster sculptures I came to see that not only could these be seen as a family of forms but that I was in fact constructing a matriachal lineage. The four depicted, cast at Tallix, Beacon, N.Y., are the only ones so far converted to bronze. For elaborations see text associated with 5 examples, Annie Details.
