Crossbow
As the stem of a flower or the shaft of a sword, we carry our hopes, dreams, loves, desires and passions in precarious balance with our fears, angers, prejudices, and false prides. All lying within us, each constantly challenging the other. Ann Cowperthwaite, Eidolon Designs Walnut, purple heart, bronze, steel, leather 2'2" (h) X 5'6" (L) x 6" (d) |

| St. Bede’s Cross The challenge: to incorporate the words and passion of St. Bede (673?-735, English Roman Catholic saint) into a sanctuary cross that would be visually and spiritually moving for the congregation of St. Bede’s Episcopal Church, Atlanta, GA.

| Chamber of Commerce Arts Award This was the winning entry of the United Arts Council of Raleigh's 1992 competition for an annual award, given to businesses who support the arts. Nearly 30 awards have been given since the inception of the honor. The imagery in the concept of a business support of the arts award is that to support is to champion, to endorse, to foster. In such substantiation honor is given to both the supporter and the supported, and hence, seemingly divergent visions are merged. Ann Cowperthwaite, Eidolon Designs "Paladin": an eminent champion of a cause Bronze, 9" (h) x 4 1/2" (w) x 4 1/2" (d) |

| Face-to-Face Steel and granite columns, bodies holding souls. Separate. Rough sided granite, naturally born from the earth. Polished inner surfaces, facing, reflecting, holding the inscribed words of Rilke: "Always the wish that you may find patience enough in yourself to endure, and simplicity enough to believe; that you may acquire more and more confidence in that which is difficult, and in your solitude among others." 16' (h) x 8" (w) x 4 1/2" (d) |

| Tower This sculpture features The Lord's Prayer in ancient Aramaic script. Wood: wenge; sandblasted marble & steel 6' (h) X 2' (L) x 2' (d) |

| Display Stands These small functional sculptures have a monumental feel. Each is an individual composition of steel and slate dictated by the natural cleaved edges and shape of the slate. They provide a "place of honor and focus" for a valued object, decorative candle, bud vase or photograph in any room. |

| Down by the Riverside This sculpture was inspired by the words from the spiritual hymn.

I ain't gonna study war no more… |
