Tame  is a small sculpture that explores an ambitious idea -- matching the docile mood of a falcon with that of a woman.   The dignity and strength expressed by both subjects expresses some of what I respect in the work of the late Allan Houser.  One of my goals is to do this same piece at a larger scale.
