  • "What Really Happens In The Glen" - Limited Edition Signed Print

    What Really Happens In The Glen is a very early limited edition print of mine of a pen & ink drawing. Each 18" x 24" print of this woodland fantasy is printed on quality paper and is numbered, titled and signed in pencil. The prints are available at dyanashot@comcast.net for $35.00 each.

  • Larva

    This sculpture is my interpretation of a red ant larva. The translucency of the alabaster lends itself to an interesting and mysterious effect of a red ant ready to emerge during its pupa stage of development. It is interesting to note that due to the nature of alabaster light transmits through the various graining beautifully. In this particular piece, when light transmits through the top area it actually looks like the red ant larva actually has a brain with a vascular system.

  • Respite Installation from "Anthra-Sight"

    Sculptural depiction of a sleeping coal miner who works in the four feet high “monkey veins”. These miners crawled into and worked lying on their backs, stomachs and sides. They developed arthritis from the dampness and could not sleep on a soft bed. Therefore, they slept on the kitchen floor next to the coal stove to keep warm during cold winter nights.

  • Spoken Timber

    Anthracite coal miners of Northeastern Pennsylvania had a saying, "If the timbers start talking, we start walking."
    The timbers did not support the mine roof.
    The mine roof was held up by pillars of stone that miners left standing as they dug out adjoining chambers of coal.
    When timbers started to make noise or crack the miners left the area quickly because it meant there was movement above that indicated a cave-in of the mine ceiling was imminent.
    This timber has spoken.

  • Nip Goin' Home

    Nip Goin’Home depicts an early Northeastern Pennsylvania coal mine “nipper boy” fatally injured in an anthracite mining accident who is being carted home.
    “Nippers” as young as 7 years old opened and closed doors in the deep anthracite mines to keep fresh air in the shafts where miners were working.
    Nippers also opened the doors to let the full coal cars through.
    Many nippers were killed when cars came rolling down the track and crashed into the closed doors while nippers fell asleep in the cold damp shafts because of prolonged periods of inactivity while coal was being loaded onto the cars by the miners.
    When any worker died in the mines, they were carted home to the company house and left on the front porch along with a note, “If another family member cannot work, vacate this company house by tomorrow.”
    This unfortunate Nip is going home.
