A Bird Named Goldilocks (top detail)

The Rook

The bronze rook is 16" x 25" and sits on a corner of the chess board, 6' x 6' x 27" height, bronze, paving stones and wood.

Each of the four dogs in the castles windows makes some reference to a fairy tale or is keeping with the fairy theme. The afghan with the hair going down to the bottom refers to Rapunzil. I also include a cocker spaniel in a shoe wth two puppies ( the old woman in the shoe) and a dog with a slipper in his mouth. (Cinderellas's prince)

The bone hanging from the door at the bottom says "Ruff Ruff". The two dogs on top on are enaged in a game of chess. For those who know the game, will mean something. The Rook is a wonderful introduction to the game of chess for young children and offers older children an opportunity to learn and teach others.

Looking for Alice Bronze 17" x 46"

The above ground world represents our conscious world and the bottom the world of the imagination. Below ground level are sculptures from 20th century. It is also meant as a teaching tool and fun for those who recognize the references. The details such as the cat or rabbit are not directly meant to represent the characters in the story but rather how we can take from our "everyday reality" and give it a new life through fiction or the visual arts. Charles Ludwig Dodson (Lewis Carroll) did just that when he made up the stories for four year old Alice Liddell who was the daughter of a colleague.
