Ceramic Sculpture in the Pardon Garden
"A deep understanding that knows how to pardon was considered the highest form of justice. This system was not without success, for its aim was to make so strong a moral impression that there was no reason to fear abuse of such mildness. For it sprang not from weakness but from a superior clarity."
I Ching, the Ancient Book of Wisdom

Dr Joe Dispenza as an Ancient, 2025






Mold-made bowls combined with hand-built faces stamped with my original mold designs are stacked as totems.


Beginning in November, 2025, the Pardon Garden will be a place to consider pardoning as the Ancients appreciated it- the highest form of justice.
