"Lingam Groupings" 
 Dig, Ground Floor Show
 2007

Picture
These pieces are all blown into a mold.  I originally used the 4 1/2 inch black pipe to make some cylinder lights for a specific architectural lighting project.  While making the lights i began experimenting with the different cut-off parts as well as the cylinders themselves.  They all had this stoic grounded quality to them.  They also reselmbed standing stones or Lingams.  The more i made of these, the more felt i needed.  Continuing with their element shows, the Ground Floor productions were throwing an earth themed party/show titield "dig", i couldn't resist submitting these.
