Circle – homage
to French mathematician Ferdinan Mobius, is rich in meaning. To
better understand the process of creating this design, imagine a
rubber band that has a triangular, rectangular, or square
cross-section. Cut this rubber band then twist it once and
reconnect. This simple technique turns the three corners of the
triangle into one, or the four corners of the rectangle or
square into two. Because of this interesting transformation, I
call this design the Bridge of Understanding. It could mean
bridging human with human; human with other life forms, or mind
body and spirit. I create my art in celebration of the temporal
and special interconnection and interdependence of life. We are
one with the insects; the river; the mountains; the worms; the
moon; and stars. The world could be at peace if we could only
find that bridge…
One of my purposes in life is
to respect and celebrate the temporal and spatial symbiotic
relationship of living beings on earth. The interaction of
lines, shapes, and forms in my sculpture symbolize the
interdependence of life. I view wood, my medium, as symbolic of
life itself. Whenever I work with wood I feel its radiating
energy interacting with mine to recreate its shape. The rhythmic
sound of my gouge and mallet -- TAP! TAP! TAP! -- is music to my
soul. - Mamerto
