Aruna is the Japanese name for moon or "moon love". The Aruna Gate is the thirteenth sculpture in the Ecstatic Gates Series. Each piece is kind of shrine or chapel, and has its own distinct personality and its own “face.” The face of this piece has two triangular alignments one exterior and one interior. The crown is wrapped in hemp jute and painted to look like bone. The interior was inlaid brick by brick in 24 K gold leaf. The dark gray elements are finished with powdered graphite. The center interlocking "moon" clasp is magnetized for closure.

I enjoy making sculptures that invite curiosity and inward contemplation. My visions and ideas are rooted in my fascination of the Great Mystery and my collaboration with the wild unseen forces. My current series, “Ecstatic Gates,” is a collection of 11 distinct wall sculptures. Each piece is kind of shrine or chapel, and has its own personality and its own “face”. I try to instill equal measures of elegance and whimsy into each piece. The suspended forms echo the delicate balances of nature while giving each piece a rhythmic movement. The bones, natural fibers, and decaying wood grains express the beauty I find in impermanence. And the shimmer of gold peeking through the doors offers a glimpse of the world beyond.
