The Fish Wizard - Purveyor of Imagination by
James Christensen Limited Edition of 1,500 $160 Winter/Spring 1999 Now Available Christensen explains "Although I like to think of the world as my classroom I cannot possibly teach enough people as I'd like on my own. So like everyone else, sometimes I ask for a little help from my 'friends.' Allow the Fish Wizard -identified by his fish, my favorite symbol for unexpected everyday magic- to introduce himself. Carrying the weight of his responsibilities in the hump of his back, he travels around to preach the good word and keep out a mindful eye for fresh recruits who share in my favorite notion that 'Believing is Seeing.' (Are you one of them?) He carries a staff with the Latin benediction 'blessed is the little fish.'" |

Sometimes the Spirit Touches Us Through Our Weaknesses
by James Christensen Limited Edition of 1,950 A Greenwich Workshop Collector's Edition porcelain and fine art print ( not shown ). Porcelain height approx.: 7 1/2" h $275.00 Winter/Spring 1999 Now Available "The hunchback is Everyman, and the hump is his burden. We all have burdens. The point is, as he sits there on that box, he may be concerned, but at the place where the angel spirit's finger touches the hump, there's a little light. I did this to remind us that most growth comes through dealing with adversity. If you pray for strength, God sends you a set of weights. The floor is my classic checkerboard pattern, symbolizing the opposing aspects of life - the light and the dark, the day and night, the yin and the yang... The hunchback is sitting on a box that says literally, in Latin, 'after clouds, sun.' That's supposed to remind all of us to always look for the silver lining." - James C. Christensen "Professor of Imagination" |

The Responsible Man by James Christensen Limited Edition of 1,950 $450 Fall 1998 James says: "You ever have one of those days? Don't worry; you're not alone. Unlike The Responsible Woman who's flying over the trees, this guy is plodding along with his responsibilities: he's got a boat full of people on his head - they represent all who he cares for and who support and motivate him, a medicine bag to care for the sick, a remote control to take charge of channel surfing, a nest egg on his back, a clock, a to-do list, an unusual hedgehog briefcase and he's pursuing the carrot of external motivation." |
