The Sculpture: Fall depicts a cyclical earth or nature spirit who is about to descend into the ground. He gently cradles a kernel, a seed, or a nut signalling his eventual rebirth. If you look closely, you will notice the female homunculus (Greek for "little person") present in the seed.

Fall is the copper-red colour of earth and autumn and is finished with a real bronze coating.

Fall is available as well upon request as a limited edition custom casting in bronze.

The Story: Consistent with my philosophy, Fall represents the Buddhist and Hindu notion there are no dualities-no ultimate difference between male and female, sacred and profane, death and rebirth.

From a mythological perspective, Fall is also a Yaksha, a tree spirit often described in folktales from India. Yakshas are benevolent and my Fall evinces a nurturing masculinity, a gentleness and vulnerability along with a strength that is undeniable.
