Young Love Sculpture

'Young Love', depicting a young couple in an embrace, is inspired by many beautiful memories of hot summers and romance. This sculpture was crafted out of two single pieces of driftwood found on a rugged beach in Northern California. The primary goal of the artist’s sculptures (Stick Figures) is to inspire people to revisit the joy of cloud gazing—to slow down and discover the hidden beauty in everyday objects. Each Stick Figure is constructed out of a maximum of three pieces of driftwood that are kept ‘as found’, except to remove sand, loose bark, and extraneous limbs (on occasion) that would otherwise obscure nature’s whimsical secrets. Each Stick Figure is designed to prompt gleeful responses when viewers recognize its form, and then discover (or imagine) additional details.
