This apple tree sculpture by Change is named "Eris's Looking Glass". Zeus was putting together a wedding banquet for Peleus and Thetis. He planned to invite just about everyone. Everyone except Eris, the Greek Goddess of discord and chaos. She was known far and wide as a troublemaker so she was left out as she was left out of just about every big reception.
Needless to say, Eris was greatly angered by this. She then thought up a little plot to stir things up at the reception. She created a golden apple and upon it she wrote Kallisti(meaning "To the prettiest one"). On the day of the event, she rolled the apple into the banquet and took off.
This is where the trouble began. Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite each claimed the apple for herself and eventually began to battle over the apple. Why did they fight over it? Well, it did say "to the prettiest one" on it and of course, each of them believed it was her.
The fight wasn't a pretty picture.
Zeus decided to end the quarrel and send them to an arbitrator to decide which of them deserves the apple. He sent them to a shephard in Troy named Paris. Each of the three goddesses tried to out-do the other by getting to Paris first and offering a bribe. Athena offered Heroic victories, Hera offered vast wealth, and Aphrodite offered him the most beautiful woman in all the world. Paris of course took Aphrodite's offer, so she took the apple and Paris was given Helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta.
This sculpture measures 6" wide by 10" tall. |

| What a perfect name for this maple-like Kali Yantra. The downward pointing triangle is a very ancient symbol of the Primal Female, the Origin of All Things, bodily triangle of the Great Goddess. This detail from the Kali Yantra constitutes both a symbol for meditation and an embodiment of the Goddess who brings worlds to birth, sustains them and then absorbs them in an eternal dance of opening and closing, creation and dissolution. Dimensions: 12 x 7.5 x 5.5".

| Twinkler is special. The whole bottom is a mirror. Sculptor Change Parker decided to add polished reflecting stones which sit on the mirror. Light comes into the mirror from three sides, although the more directed light the better. It is like looking into a forest pool. A person could toss the polished stones onto the mirror to read them. Twinkler is named because it has a small faceted twinkling crystal (man-made) eye. Dimensions are 8 x 12 x 10.5".
