WORKS
A TREE IS A WILD THING SERIES
We try our best to civilize it by chopping it down and sectioning it into the geometric shapes we call lumber, but a rich organic beauty persists within even the lowliest pine board. In this series, the artist takes that “lumber” and coaxes it into shapes and objects that are more evocative of its original personality and home.
Below are a few works from the 24-piece series. For the full catalog or to visit the work in person or virtually, contact us.
ENSO AND BEYOND SERIES
Enso is an ink circle drawn briefly and in one stroke. Drawing enso is a disciplined creative practice of Japanese ink painting, sumi-e. For many, drawing enso is a spiritual practice for self-realization. Enso exemplifies the various dimensions of the Japanese wabi-sabi perspective and aesthetic: fukinsei (asymmetry, irregularity), kanso (simplicity), koko (basic; weathered), shizen (without pretense; natural), yugen (subtly profound grace), datsuzoku (freedom), and seijaku (tranquility).

LETTERFORM SERIES
Our experience when reading words in a language that we speak is focused on the meaning of those words. In fact, the very purpose of any written language is to carry ideas from the writer to the reader. Written words are typically perceived as purely functional tools of communication, the meaning of a word is its only function, and the only way those markings can have meaning.
In his series Letterforms, the artist has changed perspective of the written word. He examines the graphical nature of typography; its loops, serifs, descender and punctuation, and suggests that there is another level of meaning conveyed.
For source material, he uses his native English, as well as other languages that use non-western alphabets and character sets, among them are Thai, Armenian, Korean, Hebrew, Chinese and more.

THE COVER SERIES
Music has always spoken to me on a primal, visceral level. All my life, music has elicited an emotional response in me that is often unexplainable. I am sometimes so excited by music that my joy bubbles over and I just want to shout, or I can be moved to tears by its beauty. I am not talking about poignant lyrics here, although they can have an effect on me too, albeit less intense. I mean the sound of some music touches me more deeply than nearly anything else – and I don’t even know why. Some years ago, I noticed that the music I was listening to while making art was having an effect on the finished product. I decided to take it a step further by purposely focusing a sculpture on a single piece of music.
I found it to be such an easy and natural way for me to work, that it almost seemed as if the pieces were making themselves. I created a playlist and went to work. The resulting collection of artwork is my album of “covers”. My approach was not to imitate the music in the literal sense of illustrating lyrics or musical themes, but to use the attributes of the music to drive my choices about the sculpture’s attributes.
