Tree Sculpture

I have true respect and awe for trees; I imagine what they have seen and the stories they have to share. Each cut and curve that I placed in these pieces of wood was done so with curiosity and intrigue. It was as if I was constructing a puzzle; the pieces of which I had not seen before. The wood was sanded and stained. The metal used consists of washers and metal rod. This piece is meant to be wall mounted and has attached sawtooth hardware. Eyes are invited to follow the various shapes and swerves starting outward and traveling in on one look. The next exploration is a study inwards to out. My hope is that viewers create their own story when seeing this piece and may that tale morph and expand with each observation. The combination of wood and metal is one of my favorite duos.
