come through me,aboutthe “art”they hope to merit and about the mean-ings they hope to represent.Which is to say that,in deed,my work is my story.For I am just as mucha creation in clay,though not yet completed,as thesculptures that are depicted herein.Between thelines of the allegories reads the story of my life andbetween the lines of my life reads the story ofhumanity's own passage along the pathways of ourindividual and collective journey Home.  \nLest my reader should misinterpret my observa-tions in this book as ego-centric let me assure youthat such is not the intent.I did not originate usingsymbology in art as,obviously,artists for eons haveused their medium to comment on higher concepts.I do,however,just as with my historical sculptures,aspire to create a much-heightened awareness of,ifnot even a new standard for,“Allegorical Art.”Not  \n“There are two mourtainson which the light of Truthshines bright and dear-the mountain of the gods andthe mountain of the
