ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Turned forms have been added to this oak branch that contains a large hollow created by an injury. The former appear to exude from other injury sites and branch terminations. The central section is willow oak and the added turned forms are black walnut. The entire piece is colored with aniline dye and finished with tung oil. All the wood was salvaged locally.

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.
