Its cross-sectional grain is sculpted in three dimensions to echo a topographic map, complete with a river of gold leaf. Hovering above the landscape, brass and glass stands can display small portions of the fruits and grains central to this holiday. This can also be used as a Passover seder plate.

  • Elm wood, gold leaf, brass, + glass.16” x 22”
  • Created for 50th anniversary commission

When the wood cylinder is turned so that coins can be inserted, windows reveal a flash of precious metal. The gold, silver, brass, and copper in these windows, along with the bronze of the inner cylinder, are the metals used in the construction of the tabernacle of the Exodus.

The prophet Isaiah tells us that upon taking care of those in need, “thy light [shall] break forth as the morning…” Here, one’s contribution is greeted by a glimpse of reflected light.

  • Bubinga wood, gold, sterling silver, copper, brass, bronze, 8″ h x 4″ dia
