About The Artwork
"Beats Me" combines two conceptually related forms; a tornado, which is often found over the head of a cartoon character to represent confusion, and a pair of dice that show "7", a winning roll in the game of craps. One reading of these might be that life can be confusing as we search for the causes of events and situations that we experience. The dice would represent the resignation when we feel that life is simply, "a roll of the dice". At this point, many seek the solace of religion as a coping strategy. My art practice involves and flows from my life practice of caring for the trees on my property, many of which I have planted or started from seed. "Beats Me" was made by seamlessly joining two maple branches saved after pruning.

Much of my practice includes collecting and preparing wood from local trees. When I began this process years ago, the material came from friends or neighbors who cut down trees and offered the wood to me. Now I have many trees on my property that may drop large branches. Most require careful and regular pruning. Recently I was forced to take down a sugar maple that was rotting from the inside out. This provided me with a considerable amount material that is dense and quite excellent. It also provided much of the material used to make “Red Fence.” The scroll form in the piece was made with wood I saved from pruning pear trees some years ago. I’d like to think that my work functions like poetry, except it uses forms instead of words to evoke thoughts and feelings that lie deep and barely realized.
