Insightful -- more than a book

This publication is like a behind-the-scenes documentary. It explains, in compelling yet understandable terms, the artistic process behind the creation of each sculpture -- in bronze, mahogany, marble and ceramic porcelain. The three-dimensional artwork is based on musical patterns and relationships (frozen music?) -- an enigmatic yet powerful concept. The intent was to bring this imaginative body of work alive, through a variety of analogies, anecdotes and descriptions. Nicely written, well-photographed. A labor of love.
