This work is a combination of acrylic on wood panels and clay pottery.  

The inspiration for this series comes from a canoe excursion in Florida and a camping trip to Congaree National Park in SC.  Specifically, the inspiration comes from Cypress tree 'knees.'  They are strange little sculptural shapes.  And it is fascinating to me that no one really knows their true purpose.  I wanted to represent them as abstract forms.

deities are often portrayed with multiple arms, especially when they are battling cosmic forces
