BIRTHWORKS series
These works juxtapose limestone made to resemble smooth, soft, fetal (baby) forms against steel structures that cradle them.  The steel structures symbolize modern medical equipment, scaffolding, new buildings, and structural frames. 
 
This series celebrates the rebirth of the artist’s hometown Detroit, which could just as easily be perceived as a representation depicting the renaissance of Saginaw, Flint and other rustbelt cities like Pittsburgh.  Once considered lost, these cities are enjoying a rebirth and developing new identities and futures with their growing medical infrastructure, commitment to advanced education and new economic growth opportunities for entrepreneurs.
