First Draft
This sculpture is a vision of the alter ego or the otherness of self, representing reflection vs. perception, as from the image in a mirror or a glimpse of another aspect of one’s personality, imagining unique variations of one’s being while honoring the closeness of relationship.

Steel Pulse transforms into blue steel temporarily. Completed stage? Maybe. I still feel reverse movement may be necessary perhaps another few pounds, currently 27lbs.

This sculpture represents the strength of love depicted as a moving force emanating from the heart
with a powerful rippling effect, and while sometimes illusory in its glow, its movement and reflection intrigues
the imagination.

This is a collaboration of steel artist Jim Marshall and glass artist Joseph Moscoso
Joseph’s comments on his glass work for this piece:
This was a challenge of love. My approach to this charming spider was best described as "POE", a Process of Elimination with color selection, size, and placement. “POE” included some dismantling and rebuilding to come to Charlie’s final presentation. Throughout this process I was very curious as to how the viewers’ perception of Charlie would lend to their own curiosity and imagination.
