 Artist's studio, UK | TEMPLE OF FIREHEIGHT 12 INCHES (30CMS) "the sacred flame of life is fertility" | 
The sculpture is composed of 5 tetrahedrons, two of which are
		linked end to end. The three remaining tetrahedrons support the
		joined couple. The Rhombus is the `sacred flame of life', Fertility,
		but I also see it being like a Gene, because you can go on adding
		tetrahedrons to the sculpture for ever, so that it becomes like
		a Family Tree. If you go back 1000 years, we each have millions
		of ancestors. We are the Genetic melting pots of survival Genes.
