Sculptures
Neals' sculptures are comprised almost entirely of natural wood base pieces that have washed ashore after soaking in the salt waters of the Atlantic Ocean and/or Cape Cod Bay, and then lay in the dry sands bleaching in the sun, thus giving them their silvery appearance. Additionally, sculptures are the blend of the natural base combined with the flotsam (marine wreckage) and jetsam (discarded cargo) collected from the shores of some of the most beautiful spots on the outer reaches of Cape Cod. In addition, Neal has been seen combing the shallows of Cape Cod Bay at low tides to harvest the smallest of the small (shells, crabs, beach glass, etc.).
However, there are occassions when Neal has to resort and rely upon certain out-of-Cape supplies, the most important of which is the mica (schist) that makes up the "glass windows" (special thanks to Jess and Steph). And, every now and then a shell or two from places in Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New Jersey or Florida will find a place of honor on a sculpture. However, all told, the sculptures are normally comprised of 99% Cape Cod beach supplies.
