About the Sculpture: "Cradled in Spirit"
The cradle of alabaster represents the omnipresent Holy Spirit, the creator and sustainer of everything manifest in the universe. The dark banded agate rings represent the lifetimes of hard knocks. The increasingly translucent quartz reaching into the center represents the awakening of the divine spark within all living things. The central crystal-lined opening is the awareness that living with an open heart allows God’s light and love to shine through us.
About the Artist: Hugh C. Thompson III M.D.
Hugh Thompson retired from the hard tissue specialty of orthopaedics wanting to experience unexplored areas of life. Through a spirit directed procession, he first tried drawing, then watercolor painting, then clay figure sculpture. He is now back in one of the hard tissue areas of the artistic world - stone carving.
The CaCO4 found in our bodies has been Divinely organized into the complex organ we call bone. With marble, pure CaCO4, the individual artist brings to life one of the infinite creative possibilities residing in each piece of stone.
