Shepherd

"Shepard" speaks of protection, of gathering and holding close, feelings that need to be guarded. The "Shepard" himself is fragile and slight, seeking shelter behind a fenced wall. As in most of Carson's work, the figures display the essence of vulnerability and the need of security. This piece is layers of hand-drawn, painted glass, that has been fired several times to fuse shape the images, and then sandblasted.
