"Age of Fire" is fashioned from a forest fire that I witnessed years ago outside of Santa Fe. The shape is what I call an archetypal form, one that occurs repeatedly in Nature. The cloud wings suggest to me the outstretched arms of a divinity in supplication. Indeed, I see it as a mythical spectre that "walks" the earth spawning lightning and fire. Science now proclaims that something ominous is loose among us. I believe that in years to come we will experience fire as we have never known it before. - Artist's statement

The Teacher and Friend I need and long for, Who alone can meet my case, is One who knows at least what it is to live in the body, as well as to be tempted through the soul and the body; Who could speak to me with the voice of authority about sin and pardon; Who could be always with me, and go where I go and stay where I stay; Who could see me in the darkness as well as in the light, and see my whole being throughout, for how else could He bring me help? One who could say to me, ‘It is I; be not afraid,’ and to the storm, ‘Peace, be still,’ and to the power of evil, ‘Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further’; One Who could fathom my perplexities, enlighten my darkness, and never misunderstand me; Who could heal the sores of my conscience, rule my passions, and understand the groanings that I cannot utter; One Who knows [firsthand] what the valley of death is, and would be with me there, and Who can speak for me in the Day of Judgment, and receive me to glory. To Whom then shall I go? To Whom but to Thee, Lord Jesus? Thou art offering Thyself to us for all this and more, able to save to the uttermost, to the glory of God the Father.
