The Fireball Story

The Fireball is my most monumental sculptural firebowl, nearly 300 pounds of formed and welded steel. Dramatic in its bold simplicity, the Fireball is massive, monolithic, deep with meaning. The sphere is often seen as a symbol of the world, of unity, of peace and of perfection. The sheer mass of this simple orb exudes celestial presence— a planetary weight and gravity.

Before Galileo, our world seemed circled by spheres in elliptical orbits, winking and flickering as they traveled the night sky. Early cultures saw the planets as divine presences or emissaries of the gods. Over the ages, history, mythology, science and religion looked to the sky for inspiration and answers. We set the measurement of the seasons by tracking these wandering stars, even as some ascribe to them the power to determine or reveal our fates.

Pythagoras spoke of music in the spacing of the spheres, but we experience the heavens as points of light. We call our planets now by the names of ancient Greek gods and the meanings of those names show their origins in the sky— brightness, the shiner, the fiery, the light bringer and the gleamer.

Experience the ancient reverence of a fire under the stars gathered around this gas giant of a firebowl.
