About The Artwork
In graduate school in the late 70's, I made two sculptures, each composed of three similar or identical units. These and others were greatly influenced by the work of Minimalists such as Robert Morris and Carl Andre. The development of "Selfsame" began years later as a way to protect my infant son from the sharp edges of large floor loudspeakers. I cut a foam cubes and removed a cubic section, which allowed them to be glued to the corners of the speakers. Much later, I decided to make some larger versions of this unit in some nice cherry wood and tried out a number of configurations. I was amazed that exactly 7 iterations of this form could be combined to make a larger version of the unit: a selfsame.

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.
