Zia
Sacred Symbol of the Sun
The Zia Project. Our newest works. When my wife Donna and I moved to New Mexico in 2017, it was from far east Texas, where we had spent six years helping her parents through their last years. I made a 3’ neon Zia, glass only, to help set the mood. When we arrived, and I saw ‘A’ mountain, in Las Cruces, it became ‘Go Big or Go Home’. The Zia Project was born.
I have been playing with light all my life. I started with photography, moved on to lasers, and then discovered luminous tubes. Neon.I find designing with light to be very fulfilling. Smooth curves, the luster of the glass, and no sharp corners characterizes my work.
The current series of work, the Zia Project, represents (with their permission) the Zia Pueblo’s Sun Symbol. It is ubiquitous in New Mexico, being on State documents, license plates and the logos of many New Mexico businesses. We would like to introduce the World to our Sun Symbol.
