Simple yet elegant,
timeless designs which transcend definition, these classics are tried and
true works which have stood the test of time, climes, and remain the
favorites. They go beautifully in many different environments and
settings, indoors as well as out.
While many of the sculptures can be defined
as classic, the ones included here are exemplary. They include Rosebud
( and the Rosebud family - Buddhafull, Starburst, etc.) Two
in One, the Solar Systems and Two Hearts Beat as One. Even their
themes are universally classic. |
Contemplation of the rosebud, like the lotus blossom, is a classic
metaphor for discovery of the divine.

The Rosebud (left)
sculptures are upright, gracefully curving vessel or budlike forms
enclosed in elegant art deco lines with inner moving kinetic
elements. The lines in motion have been compared to those of skaters
dancing together. Wind catcher can be circular, shell, tear-dropped,
oval and more.
"The origin
of the sculpture Rosebud and the role it has played is a beautiful and
true story of expanding love, creativity, and healing in my
life."
- Susan Beran Pascal

According to many ancient belief systems,
there are four directions which shape the universe. This bronze
sculpture has four kinetic elements which point symbolically and rotate in
various directions about the horizontal. A lyrical design, the
catchers are delicately yet strongly attached at graceful balletic
angles. This sculpture can be activated by either wind or water. |
FOUR CORNERS |
TWO HEARTS BEAT
AS ONE
And Love is evoked by the emotional unities and disunities of the
kinetic drama of Two Hearts Beat as One.
|
A voluminously full and deliciously
colorful piece whose propeller style hearts beat in unison and opposite
directions about the horizontal, while the entire global body of the piece
swirls about the vertical.
Many different versions are available. |
One of the original designs since 1982,
the counter motion of the two internal circles spin within and at right
angles to the outer surrounding circle. An exciting dynamic piece
displays an almost atomic integrity.
|
TWO IN ONE
Two in One is the four dimensional equivalent of a yin yang symbol,
where opposing dynamics operate within an integrated whole. |
Just as art is universal, it is also personal. The Classic
Series of designs have originated not only from universal inspiration but
also from deeply personal experiences. |
