Bob O Rourke - santos
Colorado artist and Santero, Bob O'Rourke, fashions his charming peaceful Santos from dead or fallen trees that ''have weathered sun, rain, wind and snow and...reflect the sturdy, tough character of the saints.'' When explaining his motivation for creating these serene joyful figures, he comments, ''Fashioning a Santo is a holy action...the extension of what I feel in my heart is expressed through my old hands.''
NOTE: BOB IS UNABLE TO CARVE ANYMORE. THIS IS THE LAST OF HIS WORK.
