His two formats "address the celebratory, the ceremonial," one in terms of the state, the other in terms of religion.   A good example of his sculptural style is  
"Icon Crozier No. 3," a tall, narrow piece.  Its shape and its materials - stainless  steel, patinaed copper, wood and gold plating - give it an aspect of surpassing elegance.  Two triangular forms float high  above the ground, suspended from the top of a 6 foot, 7 inch staff.  For all its materials denoting power and prestige, this  piece has a precious quality.
