Many of his works have appendages and details that are impossibly thin for being made of stone, often to awe-inspiring effect. Many of his works are avian at their core, with many turning into transformative figures from one angle or another. Man, Bird, and Whale Spirit covers a broad swath of his oeuvre, all while being delightfully pint-sized! Avian wings sprout out next to marine tails, and a human face looms from the stone, all delicately carved into thin green stone.Provenance
