The Beagley Family is a commissioned work created as a birthday gift from Nick to his wife, Liisa. Continuing the "malleable block" abstract series, this piece focuses on the enduring strength and unity of their four grown children.

The composition centers on the profound closeness of the four siblings. Rather than standing as isolated figures, their forms are carved to bend and lean into one another, creating a series of physical connections that weave the individual blocks into a single, cohesive unit. This intentional "tightness" in the sculpture reflects the deep emotional bond and mutual support they share as adults.

By transforming heavy stone into these fluid, reaching shapes, the work serves as a living portrait of a family’s legacy. It celebrates the fact that while the children have grown into their own lives, they remain inextricably linked, leaning on the foundation their parents built for them.
