Segmented Turnings

St. Brendans Cross

I went to the coast of Maine for week long sail on the schooner Timberwind.   While browsing the local shops I saw some jewelry featuring St. Brendan’s Cross.   The image and idea captivated me.   When I returned home I did some research, and found that the story behind the design was even more fascinating.   I’ve always loved sculptures of sea mammals and have long been trying to devise a way to combine the flowing lines of dolphins and whales with a turning.   This piece is the result.
