"A Warrior Against the Foes of Sanity"

(1994) Red Oak

   

 

 

"The artist is not born to a life of pleasure. He must not live idle; he has a hard work to perform, and one which often proves a cross to be borne.  He must realize that his every deed, feeling, and thought are raw but sure material from which his work is to arise, that he is free in art but not in life." 

                                                 

                         "Concerning The Spiritual in Art"

                                Wassily Kandinsky

A commanding sculpture by Baxter Rains, "...even as also I am known."  The eucalyptus pillars cradle a portion of sea glass; the pillars rest on granite.  The expressive qualities recall the elemental forces of the ancient, the sacred, the sublime, great mysteries found in creation stories.
