This series explores the acanthus leaf, carved into ancient stone architecture, and carved in fine metals.

"Acanthus is a celebration of strength. The strength of the soil, the spirit of life itself, filtered through human imagination and our ability to make and celebrate myths for ourselves. The graceful curves of the Acanthus plant as seen on Greek columns contrast with the rather coarse forms of the actual plant, and yet the architects of Antiquity elected this common shrub as both metaphor and symbol, and here it is, still enduring." -Eve
