Photo by Ron Baselice Fountain Columns is composed of five monumental Dakota mahogany granite columns, each 10 high. Moroles varied the surfaces on each column by polishing two sides to a mirror-like finish, scoring one face, and leaving the fourth rough. Re-circulated water runs through the center of each column via a PVC pipe, bubbling out from the top and spilling down all four sides in clinging sheets. On the roughly hewn surfaces of the columns the water shimmers and sparkles in the light, while on the glassy, smooth sides it reflects the colors and shapes of the surrounding Sculpture Garden.

Autumn is an homage to all trees.
It is a study of planes and how they cut through space inviting the eye to wander across the forms. I have built this tree devoid of foliage and small limbs. Now, I would like to construct a whole forest. There is a physical identification between a work of art and the body of the maker and viewer. Throughout all the transitions, both obvious and subtle, my work maintains a sense of lushness and organic strength both in the material, its manipulation, and the subsequent forms.
