-Together- This piece was created for after a solo show that I had back in June of 2013. It was shown for a few months in the same gallery afterwards. Its functionality is a table top candle holder which is the gray concrete and a his and her coaster made from antique barn wood and metal. The meaning behind the piece, was from a special person in my life at the time. I wanted to share this with her over a nice dinner and wine after she dedicated many hours helping me in the studio for the solo show. Unfortunately, our journey has ended and I hope one day this piece could find a home to the perfect couple. -Together- is made from metal, concrete, antique barn wood, and it also has free laying river pebbles.
