Harbingner of fall, green relief in the summer woods, I really like poison oak and work with it quite a bit. This sculpture is made of reeds, copper, blackberry vines and poplar., 4' tall 3' wide. It is about the last leaves and the tendency of these leaves to look like flags.

This one is my latest and I think one of the most successful and unusual for me because it imparts the feeling and experience as well as the presence of the form. What you see on the outside is not the sculpture, it is what is inside. In order to see it you have to peer in between the walls. This is the same thing you have to do to see and feel the actual stump. Inside is a stump form made of broken sticks. The inside walls are hammered and oxidized copper, curved to suggest the sides of very old and large fir trees. Covering the top is a lattice of oxidized brass forms to shield light and cast shadows if there is direct light. Basically, it is dark when you look inside. I have included a photo with a medium sized artist for scale.
32 x 32 x 48

This rock is on my property and I have sketched it several times. There is something about the size, location and isolation that contributes to its presence in the forest.
Oak Run Rock, 24" diameter, 12" high, brass, basalt rock, wood.

I'm fond of sketching around ponds, streams and muskeg areas and this sculpture is the results of some grass forms I found near Salana, Alaska. the hummoks were isolated from one another, making walking a little easier, but each hummock seemed to have its own presence.
Copper, brass, grass, cattails, wood, 30" x 30" x 44" high.
