This type of elemental is nearly its own tidal wave, easily capable of drowning people within its own body. And you can't escape this tsunami by going inland!
"Elemental" by Joseph Jaskolka. Small pieces of Mica line the inside of the cape....black granite on the outside. The sculpture holds fire in the left hand as water sprays from the right. A device built into it will capture the air creating a sound vibration during a heavy wind. This piece is over 8 feet tall on a very large stone base with a weight of over 2 tons.
* The Artist's Statement on this piece: " A combination of New England fieldstone, copper, brass, steel, black granite, fire, water, and sound, ( to symbolize wind), "The Elemental", is a basic yet complex presentation of the four Classical Elements, embodied into one being. Anything at all, that can be experienced in anyway, will have elemental qualities that can be sensed and responded to. If this is true, the elements can be understood as the fundamental basis of the relationships between extant things, the source of shared qualities, the root level of correspondences that ultimately form the orderly, coherent and therefore predictable world. As ones awareness of the elemental qualities of things increase, the world appears more predictable. To me, "The Elemental", is an image of someone who has mastered the recognition of elemental qualities, from the most simple to the most intricate, therefore mastering life itself."

This set was created for the elemental altars at my wedding. The attendants at those altars got to keep them as a gift of gratitude, so the stones you see here have scattered to the winds.
I just made them available for special order.

I loved the look of the elemental application icons in this display in the Adobe lobby.
I limited my photography to a 50mm at f/1.4 for the entire walk as an exercise. Read more about my experience in my first photo walk in my blog post.
