THE HELIX

One of Janet's favourite pieces is an early creation called The Helix. She had found many off-cuts in the bin at school and asked the instructor some questions. She had no master plan to begin with, but she had a concept, and it came together - three gothic spirals that has a place for a light or candle that casts an amazing shadow.

UNDER THE SEA

Fashioned from auger flighting and is sitting on a base of local tyndall stone.

Tyndall stone is a dolomitic limestone that is quarried near Garson, Manitoba, Canada. It was first used in 1832 for building Lower Fort Garry, and has since become popular for building purposes throughout Canada and the United States. One of this cream coloured rock's unique attributes is that is bears the fossils of ancient marine creatures - an artist's delight!

Janet is fascinated by cave paintings. The three sisters honours the ethereal simplicity of the ancestors petroglyphs and their ancient knowledge. When a candle is lit beside this piece, the flame casts dancing shadows onto the tyndall stone.
