This
series has a 'Science Fiction' influence. I have
always had an interest in the subject and it showed itself in this
series. But
'science fiction' can be a misleading term, such that writers like H.G.
Wells,
Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and numerous other
'visionaries', turned
other minds to transform fiction into reality, and to much speculation
and probable
odds, Carl Sagan was preparing us for 'Other
Civilizations - Other
Cultures' as
my latest series of sculptures is called. Therefore I would like to
dedicate the
"Enterprise" Gene Roddenberry, a great visionist
and optimistic humanist,
also to A.V. Roe and the Avro Arrow, a great Canadian aviation
entrepreneur,
also to Peter Jackson for bringing Tolkein’s vision to the
world in
epic proportions.
