Granite, stainless steel
From the artist:
My oldest child is a part time daylily hybridizer. His work is starting to get the attention of some well-established individuals in that field. Similarly, my wife is an avid gardener and loves the daylilies our son is creating. Hybridized Daylily started out as a granite flower for my wife. As I worked on this piece it occurred to me that a lot of what I do as a sculptor is a kind of hybridization of various types of granite. This, combining the ideas of a flower for my wife who loves gardening the hybridizing that my son does, and the granite work that I do, this piece has inadvertently become
a kind of unintended familial work.
