 | | It is Maricha Oxley's intriguing sculpture in the round, carved from one pine log, with elements that were carved in low and high relief, incised, pyrocarved, painted, and pierced. |
 | | Here Maricha explains the significance of fire and light in her work, and recounts the elaborate techniques (emphasizing the role of pyrography) required to achieve the desired effects with these elements. |
 | | Maricha explains that the combined effects of the central (lighted) fire, lighted fasciae (more on these below), and pyrography in this sculpture were essential for her to imbue her sculpture with the ambience, the spiritual celebration of everyday life, as well as sacred feelings and emotional reconciliation she sought to convey. |
