 "'Chalice' is one of a series that began in 1985 as an attempt to make one hundred objects, all related yet each unique. I chose the chalice image for its loaded history as an icon common to many cultures and movements, a symbol of humankind's eternal quest for perfection and striving for "well-being."  The series of chalices has never stopped and have grown in variation and scale, although all continue to be fabricated from industrial relics."
