(Common Grace Commission No. 3) "Fixer" (2003) 62-1/2"x 27"x 27" Apothecary jar, iron tripod, toy soldier, book illustrations, epoxy, polyester resin (Common Grace Commission No. 4) "Over Time" (2003) 13"x 15-1/4"x 10-1/4" Mantle clock base, cast iron toy horse, croquet ball, book illustrations, sewing machine parts, marbles, bead, door latch, cord, numbered tack (Inscription:) "As I am exposed to the heat of change, I find layers burning away.

And although it provided covering and security, it was not a place in which I could grow, as I was constricted within its walls and did not live freely. Still, I remained willingly for a time. Now I have been called to help in the building of another, different kind of house. We work slowly, taking careful measurements, wanting there to be room for all who will make their home there. There are disagreements about the way things will be done, but this only seems to make the house stronger. We are starting small and can always add on. It is not always the most comfortable thing for me, to live in such close proximity to so many others. I had grown accustomed to my solitude, even in that larger house. But it became obvious to me that this, along with the need to once again breathe freely, was something that would have to change."
