Life-sized sculptural forms designed to frame, reflect, surround or shelter the human body. The sculptures are made of discarded wood: leftovers from construction projects, fallen branches, and bark cutouts from a neighbor’s woodlot. To me, the red pine bark looked like pink salmon scales; the white pine knots suggested golden-tanned skin, and twisty zumac branches turned silvery against the zenit sun. The other materials contrast and compliment the wood: natural and olive-green glazed ceramics, as well as gold and silver colored metal mesh.
