To Infinity......

My alternate title for this is "If anybody says Star Trek one more time, I'll launch a photon torpedo at them!"

Can't really escape the fact that there is definitely that influence there, though. I do like pieces with a lot of implied motion.

This will be on the CWA instant gallery table in Tampa.

Dyed and pierced figured maple, painted poplar

32"Wx9"Dx7"H

C&C always encouraged

I have to admit, Alan, my first impression was..., but then I saw your description and thought better about saying it. This piece as well as a lot of others does convey your message. Wonderful.

Alan......Your work is instantly recognizable, because your "style" is unique to you.....and it's very refined. Unlike turners like myself, who rely on nature to convey the message, your works always require a mental leap to come to a conclusion of your determination. You are a true artist.......

I'd be interested in seeing one of your early works......just to better understand your "evolution".

I have grown to appreciate "Out of the Box" thinking and the works that follow.

Thanks for opening us up to your thoughts and works.
