Enquiries about THE BOY WITH THE BIRD JOB 100cm x 40cm x 35cm Resin 2000 Job was heaped with misfortunes and eventually became angry with God.

Enquiries about JOB ABRAHAM AND ISAAC 42cm x 26cm x 26cm Bronze 1987 Abraham was ordered by God to take his son Isaac up into Mt. Moriah and sacrifice him. This poignant version shows the father, holding his beloved son to his breast and hiding the sacrificial knife from him, staring up at God in mute, questioning anguish.

The keynote of this sculpture is hope that springs eternal. Enquiries about NOAH & THE DOVE THE MARK OF CAIN 67cm x 18cm x 11cm Aluminium 1988 Cain, son of Adam and Eve, having killed his brother Abel, is sent by God out into the world with an indelible mark on his forehead to proclaim him a fratricide. Enquiries about THE MARK OF CAIN HAGAR & ISHMAEL 80cm x 20cm x 20cm Bronze 1982 Hagar, Abraham’s second wife, is sent out into the desert with her son Ishmael, by first wife Sarah who feared Abraham favoured Ishmael over her son, Isaac.
